Weight gain was not related to change in menopausal status nor to any life-style factors measured. Women who were older at baseline gained less weight than the younger members. Suprailiac skin-fold measurements, waist circumference and waist/hip ratio all increased during the menopausal transition. Continuous hormone therapy users showed no gain in mean weight, suprailiac skin-fold measurements or waist measurements over the follow-up period.
