The health consequences of obesity include increased risk of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, cancer, osteoarthritis, and mental health problems. Postmenopausal women have reached an age when the incidence of chronic health conditions becomes more prevalent. In addition to physical disease risks, a lifetime of ridicule and disrespect may seriously and adversely affect general and health-related quality of life. Thus, obese postmenopausal women stand at a crossroads between living the remainder of their lives in essentially good health or facing the likely onset of chronic diseases that might have been prevented. This article reviews the effects of obesity that have particular relevance for postmenopausal women.
肥胖对健康的影响包括患心脏病、高血压、糖尿病、睡眠呼吸暂停、癌症、骨关节炎和心理健康问题的风险增加。绝经后女性已到了慢性健康状况发病率更高的年龄。除了身体疾病风险外，一生遭受的嘲笑和不尊重可能会严重且不利地影响总体生活质量和与健康相关的生活质量。因此，肥胖的绝经后女性正处于一个十字路口，要么余生基本保持健康，要么面临可能本可预防的慢性疾病的可能发病。本文综述了与绝经后女性特别相关的肥胖影响。
