There’s been a flurry of interest in the menopause recently, with more attention – finally – on the debilitating symptoms women suffer as their oestrogen levels plummet. And it gives rise to the question: could the loss of oestrogen seriously affect a woman’s health?
The answer may come from Predict, the largest study of its kind, which is exploring how menopause affects day-to-day metabolism such as cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
The study involves scientists from King’s College London, the personalised nutrition company Zoe, and Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and Massachusetts General Hospital in the US.
