HERNANDEZ-HERNANDEZ, Daniel I. et al. Changes in body composition with the use of parenteral and oral hormone therapy in the menopause. Perinatol. Reprod. Hum. [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.2, pp.45-50. Epub 06-Maio-2022. ISSN 2524-1710. https://doi.org/10.24875/per.19000078.
Background:
Menopause is associated with changes in body composition that the use of hormone therapy (HT) can reverse.
Objective:
To determine the effect of parenteral and oral HT on body composition in menopause.
Material and methods:
A retrolective study was carried out in 86 women aged 45 to 55 years old, with FSH > 20 Ul/ml, a history of hysterectomy and vasomotor symptoms. The participants received oral HT (44 patients) or parenteral (42 patients) for six months. Bioelectrical impedance was performed before and after treatment.
Results:
Oral HT was associated with a decrease in different parameters of body composition, among which the decrease in visceral fat stands out (p < 0.05). Parenteral HT did not show changes in body composition.
Conclusion:
Oral HT positively modifies body composition, which can help regulate the metabolic state.
