| Abstract: |
This article discusses strategies for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic disease in menopause, including diet, exercise, and soy protein supplementation. The authors note that morbidity and mortality rates from CVD increase after natural and surgical menopause, and the incidence of diabetes dramatically increases after menopause. The authors review the components of metabolic syndrome, including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, inflammation, vascular function, and adiposity; the role of hormone replacement therapy (HRT); and the use of soy protein. The classic method for counteracting the decrease in energy expenditure with the subsequent increase in abdominal adiposity with aging and menopause is with caloric restriction and exercise; the use of soy protein as a specific dietary supplement shows some promise in preventing the development of risk factors for CVD and metabolic disease in this population. 1 table. 51 references. |
