Characterizing the role of menopausal status and hormone therapy on modifiable health behaviors and their association with body composition, physical function, and metabolic health

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to characterize how menopausal status and hormone therapy (HT) influence the relationships between modifiable health behaviors (MHBs) and various health outcomes over time. Analyzing data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, the authors found that physical activity and sleep had evolving associations with body composition and physical function, particularly in postmenopausal women, highlighting the need to consider these factors in aging-related health assessments.
