Metabolic Health Women

Meaning

Metabolic Health Women refers to the state of optimal physiological function concerning energy regulation, encompassing healthy blood glucose control, favorable lipid profiles, appropriate body composition, and normal blood pressure, specifically considered within the context of female endocrine physiology. This status is highly dynamic and significantly influenced by the cyclical and transitional changes in sex hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone. Clinically, maintaining metabolic health is paramount for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, especially post-menopause when the protective effects of estrogen diminish. A key focus is the maintenance of insulin sensitivity across the lifespan.
