SYDNEY: Australian researchers are advising post-menopausal women to keep an eye on their cholesterol, after finding that levels appear to increase after menopause.
The findings, published in the journal Menopause, showed post-menopausal women had significantly higher cholesterol levels than pre-menopausal women, including triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL – “bad” cholesterol which transports fat molecules around the body. “We found post-menopausal women had higher cholesterol levels compared to premenopausal women,” said lead author Ananthan Ambikairajah.
“It could be really useful for post-menopausal women that have moderate risks – like obesity or low physical activity – to connect with their GP and get their LDL levels checked.”
