Abstract

Body composition and pattern of weight gain changes with menopause. This study attempts to compare these changes among two groups of women. Group 1: women who gain spontaneous or natural menopause and Group 2: women who undergo hysterectomy and thus their menopause onsets. This study suggests that hysterectomy has a strong influence on postmenopausal weight gain and other body composition characteristics. Hysterectomized women gained a significant 8.7 kg on average as compared to 5.3 kg in women experiencing spontaneous menopause. This also indicate that hysterectomy significantly influences a greater risk of bringing in ?android? type of fat distribution in women.
