Session Outlines and Learning Objectives

About the session

The menopause transition period is a time of huge physiological upheaval resulting in burdensome symptoms and increased risk of chronic disease.

Post-menopausal women have higher blood pressure, adiposity, blood cholesterol and glucose versus pre-menopausal woman.

Watch this session to:

GAIN CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF:

  • The change in cardiometabolic disease risk associated with menopause
  • The prevalence of peri- menopausal symptoms and associations with diet
  • The potential to change what we eat and how we eat it to modulate disease risk

BE AWARE OF:

  • The biological changes that occur during the menopause transition
  • The intersection of diet and lifestyle in the menopause transition
  • The post-meal responses in peri- and post- menopausal women and how they relate to disease risk

BE ABLE TO:

  • Translate dietary advice to peri- and post- menopausal women
  • Understand key disease risk factors which are elevated in post-menopausal women to provide targeted dietary and lifestyle advice
  • Evaluate the benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for peri- and post- menopausal women
