DOES EXERCISE FOR THE MENOPAUSE TRANSITION NEED A NEW (CARDIO-METABOLIC) NARRATIVE? - DEEP DIVE

Session Type: Deep Dive | Specific Populations

It is well-known that women are protected from cardiovascular (CV) disease during the first few decades of their lives, an effect which is largely due to oestrogen (Novella et al, 2012). However, after menopause, the risk of CV disease rapidly increases, giving women a higher risk than men.
