«Vitamin D hypovitaminosis as a risk factor for metabolic syndrome in menopausal women»

Аннотация

The climacteric period is a key stage in a woman's life, representing a physiological transition during which there is a gradual decline in ovarian activity. At this time, women often develop menopausal metabolic syndrome, manifested by an increase in visceral fat mass, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia, which leads to disorders of carbohydrate, viride and purine metabolism. The role of vitamin D in postmenopausal women remains poorly understood. It is noteworthy that hypovitaminosis D is more common in postmenopausal women compared to premenopausal women. This paper reviews the factors contributing to menopausal metabolic syndrome and its associated risks. The relationship and impact of menopausal metabolic syndrome on vitamin D deficiency is also described.
