Abstract in brief

Weight gain and increased central fat are common in midlife women due to aging, declining estrogen levels, and other factors, leading to health risks like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic issues.
Central obesity in women can cause serious metabolic problems and is linked to increased risks of cancer, arthritis, mood disorders, and sexual dysfunction, making weight management crucial.
Primary care providers should actively screen and counsel midlife women on weight management, lifestyle changes, and consider hormone therapy for symptom relief, but hormone therapy isn't a solution for obesity itself.
