“…The decline in physical activity for women experiencing the peri and post menopause leads to food intake being stored as excess visceral fat. The drop levels of estrogen that accompany the peri-menopausal years and subsequent loss of estrogen that accompanies menopause may place the women at risk for numerous physiological alterations (Manjusha & Madhavi, 2014).…”

Although various studies have investigated the effect of behavioral interventions on body weight, few have reported community interventions for peri-and post-menopausal women. Consequently, questions remain concerning the effectiveness of weight loss interventions for this group of women. The objective of this study was to provide an educational program to improve diet and physical activity levels to promote behavior changes that will improve overall health. A pilot study of obese peri-and post-menopausal African-American women was conducted to assess an educational intervention. Pre and post-tests questionnaires were given to assess eating habits and physical activity and to measure body mass index (BMI) as well as waist circumference. Each participant completed an eight-week behavior modification intervention program designed to increase physical activity levels and encourage healthy dietary choices. A paired-samples t-tests established that after the intervention there were large improvements in diet and exercise as well as small improvements in BMI and waist circumference. The educational intervention was associated with large improvements in diet and exercise and small improvements in BMI and waist circumference. A community setting is a viable option in promoting and improving health behaviors.

Introduction Abdominal obesity is the accumulation of excess adipose tissue in the abdomen. Hormonal changes in menopausal women may lead to physical inactivity which results in decreased cardiorespiratory fitness and increase in incidence of obesity. Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular health and longevity and a useful health indicator. The interrelationship among abdominal obesity, cardiorespiratory fitness and body image attitude among menopausal women was investigated in this study. Method A cross-sectional survey method was adopted, using purposive sampling to recruit women from Iseyin Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria. Premenopausal, perimenopausal and postmenopausal women had their abdominal obesity, cardiorespiratory fitness and body image attitude assessed using waist circumference, six minute-walk test and multidimensional body-self relations questionnaire (MBSRQ) respectively. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with ᾳ = 0.05. Results Participants comprised 381 women aged 47.1±8.6 years, they had low mean estimated maximum oxygen consumption of 10.81±1.77ml/kg/min. The postmenopausal women had the highest median score of abdominal obesity of 96.0 (20.0) cm. A positive and significant weak correlation of abdominal obesity with cardiorespiratory fitness was observed among the premenopausal (r=0.156; p=0.050) women while negative and non-significant correlations were observed in both the perimenopausal and postmenopausal groups. Cardiorespiratory fitness and abdominal obesity exhibited varied correlations with body image attitude variables of menopausal women. Conclusion Cardiorespiratory fitness and abdominal obesity were somewhat indirectly correlated in the older menopausal women. They also exhibited variable correlations toward body image.
