Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
The negative impact of menopause on cardiometabolic health has been documented, but there is limited evidence regarding the relationship between quality of life and cardiometabolic health indicators (e.g. CVD, diabetes) in postmenopausal women. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of quality of life on detriments to health in postmenopausal women, using 65 questions drawn from validated surveys. Participants were recruited using print and social media and completed the confidential survey online. Results demonstrated that subjects who expressed a greater burden and dissatisfaction with their quality of life showed an increase in risk factors for cardiometabolic disease.
