What to watch with Triglyceride and Wechseljahre?

During menopause, cardiovascular risk often increases, and triglycerides may rise unfavorably. A DNA test can analyze variants in genes like APOE, LPL, or APOA5 that influence lipid metabolism. However, the effects are typically small and insufficient for personalized treatment. Lifestyle factors are more important: a diet low in sugar and rich in healthy fats, regular exercise, and medically supervised hormone therapy if appropriate. The test can provide orientation but does not replace clinical care. Evidence: human-moderate (association studies). Caveat: No clinical prediction; consider interactions with hormone status and medications (e.g., statins).
