Article Synopsis
- The study explored how menopause affects weight gain in women with HIV (WWH) compared to women without HIV (WWOH), focusing on changes in body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) from 2000 to 2013.
- It found that during menopause, WWH experienced a negative change rate in BMI across menopausal phases, while WWOH generally showed positive changes.
- The results suggest that the menopausal transition leads to less weight gain in WWH, indicating that having HIV may mitigate typical weight gain associated with menopause.
