In contrast, there are few data available on menopause in African-American women. Since menopause is associated with potentially preventable health risks in women, this proposal is aimed at characterizing the perimenopausal period in terms of body fat, energy balance, and insulin action in both caucasian and African-American women.\n\nThe study will address 4 general hypotheses:\n\n* Menopause increases both total and visceral abdominal fat\n* Changes in body composition and body weight at menopause are mediated, at least in part by changes in 24-hour energy expenditure and/or food intake\n* Menopause results in decreased insulin sensitivity that may predispose certain women to develop diabetes later in life\n* African-American women may respond to the shifts in reproductive hormones at menopause differently than caucasian women.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '52 Years', 'minimumAge': '47 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Pennington Biomedical Research Center is located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, adjacent to the medical services district of the Regional Medical Center.
