Belly fat in women can worsen after age 45 and we can prevent it. A study shows that for women around the perimenopausal period which is between 45-55 years of age, the belly fat deposition can be increased by 44%. During this period, the female sex hormone estrogen starts to fall. The body compensates by producing more androgens which tend to add on to the belly fat. If we have a good muscle mass, this androgen effect can be prevented. Hence, it is absolutely important for women to lift weights to build muscle.
