Abstract

Menopause represents a natural biological transition characterized by declining estrogen levels and profound metabolic changes. Estrogen deficiency contributes to insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and visceral fat accumulation, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In Georgia, these risks often remain unrecognized due to the lack of targeted prevention and screening programs. This article discusses the physiological mechanisms underlying menopausal metabolic alterations, presents local epidemiological data, and outlines public-health strategies for early detection and prevention.
