During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes — especially the decline in oestrogen — can promote the accumulation of visceral fat, even in women who eat well and stay active. This deeper abdominal fat is linked to insulin resistance, metabolic risk, and faster ageing — but it can be reversed with the right strategy.
Evidence from the Endocrine Society’sJournal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism shows that women using menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) have less abdominal fat tissue and lower BMI compared with untreated women. The OsteoLaus cohort study (Papadakis et al., 2018) confirmed that MHT helps reduce both total and visceral adiposity, improving metabolic health and body composition.
