HealthDay (1/23, Mann) reports a study published online in Menopause “finds that older women are also vulnerable to developing” eating disorders, “especially around menopause.” When the “researchers looked at eating disorder symptoms among 36 women aged 45 to 61, they found that body dissatisfaction was a key risk factor for eating disorders across the lifespan, especially in midlife.” The findings showed “perimenopausal and early post-menopausal women were more likely to report a fear of gaining weight or losing control of their eating.”
