Examining the Prevalence of Disordered Eating among Menopausal and Post-Menopausal Women

Abstract

women in the perimenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal age groups are susceptible to disordered and restrictive eating patterns. This paper discusses and analyzes recent studies that focus on perimenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal women and the factors that may contribute to the increasing prevalence of disordered eating among this population. This paper also provides a comparative approach with women and the prevalence of disordered eating across the lifespan.
