Abstract

Recent workers in this field have confirmed the complex interrelationship between structure and function. It is clear that the manner in which physiological impairment develops relative to compositional change depends on the setting within which malnutrition arises.

Weight gain during menopause. Is it inevitable or can it be prevented?

The years surrounding the menopause are associated with weight gain, increased central adiposity, and decreased physical activity. While weight change occurs independent of menopausal status, adverse changes in body fat distribution and body composition may be due to hormonal changes occurring during the menopausal transition. The one factor most consistently related to weight gain is physical activity. To avoid weight gain, women should make regular physical activity a priority. Although HRT use is widely believed to cause weight gain, data from the PEPI trial do not support this belief. Moreover, HRT may have a protective effect in reducing central adiposity, although more long-term studies using CT or MRI to measure visceral fat are needed to confirm this hypothesis. Data from the Women's Healthy Lifestyle Project provide clear evidence that weight gain and increased waist circumference, along with elevations in lipid levels and other CHD risk factors, are preventable through use of lifestyle intervention in healthy menopausal-aged women. Given the prevalence and chronic course of obesity, weight gain prevention should be recognized as an important health goal for women before they approach menopause.

Regulations on statements made for dietary supplements concerning the effect of the product on the structure or function of the body. Food and Drug Administration, HHS. Final rule.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing final regulations defining the types of statements that can be made concerning the effect of a dietary supplement on the structure or function of the body. The regulations also establish criteria for determining when a statement about a dietary supplement is a claim to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease. This action is intended to clarify the types of claims that may be made for dietary supplements without prior review by FDA and the types of claims that require prior authorization as health claims or prior approval as drug claims.
