Menopause is a universal experience for women, naturally occurring at the mean age of approximately 51 years. A small number of women can experience premature menopause before the age of 40 due to conditions like Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), while others may undergo menopause due to surgical removal of the ovaries or cancer treatment.

Menopause does not directly cause weight gain. The fluctuation and decline in sex hormones during the menopause transition causes a decline in lean muscle mass and a shift in weight distribution to the abdominal area. It can also lead to poor sleep, lethargy, increased stress levels, lack of exercise and poor food choices and this can contribute to weight gain.
