Health of Women with Diabetes May Deteriorate After Menopause: Study
Researchers reviewed records of 211 women and found post-menopausal patients faced higher rates of complications, falls and depressive symptoms.
- A new study published in September by Diabetes Research and Clinical Practices reveals women with Type 1 diabetes face increased physical and psychosocial health risks after menopause, necessitating updated treatment plans.
- Researchers reviewed medical records of 211 women aged 40 to 60, comparing 90 post-menopausal participants with 121 premenopausal women to assess clinical complications like retinopathy and cardiovascular disease.
- Jane Yardley of the Montreal Clinical Research Institute noted muscle mass and strength decline more rapidly after menopause, stating, "so we're starting to see problems emerge that we hadn't noticed before."
- Yardley urged doctors to reassess care for diabetic patients after menopause, as post-menopausal women were less likely to be prescribed essential antihypertensive and lipid-lowering medications.
- Historically, women were excluded from clinical studies due to hormonal complexities, meaning past assumptions based on male data do not accurately reflect their specific health needs.
