5 health indicators to monitor in middle-aged women

Estrogen is considered as “lifeblood”, playing an important role in determining the health and physiology of women. However, after the age of 40, the estrogen hormone begins to decline, on average decreasing by 1-1.5% per year, this decline becomes more serious and sudden after the age of 50.

From there, it causes many diseases such as: high blood pressure, diabetes, lipid disorders... To have a healthy body, women need to proactively check their health regularly, especially monitor the following 5 important indicators:

Weight

Women after the age of 35, each year the body accumulates about 700g of fat, while losing 200g of muscle mass. The reason is due to the decrease in estrogen hormone, causing muscle mass to decrease, fat accumulation increases leading to overweight and obesity.

To control weight, women should monitor their BMI, which is calculated by dividing weight by twice height (meters) and maintain it at 18-25.

Waist circumference

Besides the problem of weight gain and decreased estrogen, many middle-aged people have to face the problem of a large, difficult-to-control waistline.

Research at the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam shows that belly fat is related to insulin resistance and hinders cholesterol metabolism. Therefore, the average waist measurement in women over 50 years old should be below 80cm to reduce the risk of high blood fat and diabetes.

Blood pressure

At menopause, women are at higher risk of high blood pressure than men, especially after the age of 55. The ideal blood pressure for middle-aged women is 120/80mmHg. When it exceeds the threshold of 140/90mmHg, it is diagnosed as high blood pressure and below 90/60 mmHg is low blood pressure.

Blood sugar levels

Another indicator that middle-aged women need to monitor is blood sugar (blood glucose). Checking this indicator regularly helps determine the concentration of glucose in the blood.

For healthy people, glucose levels will fluctuate between 3.9 - 6.4 mmol/l. Exceeding this threshold is called diabetes. Conversely, if blood sugar levels are too low, it is diagnosed as hypoglycemia.

Onlyblood fat number

High blood fat is a common disease in middle-aged women. According to statistics from the Ministry of Health, in Vietnam, more than 50% of women aged 50 - 69 have this disease.

In women entering pre-menopause and menopause, the sudden decrease in estrogen hormone affects lipid metabolism, causing cholesterol and triglycerides to increase, leading to high blood fat and cardiovascular disease.

Currently, Western medicine is commonly used in the treatment of high blood fat, especially the statin group. Statins have the effect of quickly reducing cholesterol but increase again when stopping taking them and cause side effects such as fatigue, increased liver enzymes, muscle weakness... Therefore, many people need to find herbal products to ensure safety and sustainable effectiveness.

Traditional medicine has many herbs that effectively reduce blood fat such as: lotus leaves, Gynostemma pentaphyllum, Polygonum multiflorum... Among them, Gynostemma pentaphyllum is proven by medical experts to reduce cholesterol by up to 71%; Polygonum multiflorum helps increase good fat, reduce bad fat...
