Study Highlights Rising Cholesterol and Heart Risks During Menopause
A 2026 study in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that perimenopausal women are twice as likely to have poor cardiovascular health and 76% more likely to have unfavorable cholesterol levels compared to menstruating women. Menopause-related estrogen decline reduces its protective effect on heart health, leading to rises in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. These changes increase the risk of heart disease, though high cholesterol often shows no symptoms, underscoring the need for awareness during menopause.
