Whether it's because of hormone changes, heredity, or aging, as the years pass by many women will start to notice an increase in belly fat as they get older - even more so after menopause. Yes, its unfortunate that women tend to experience a larger fat percentage increase than males do.
As you get older your metabolism starts to slow down to a certain degree and one of the signs of this is that the amount of fat in your body gradually increases. After menopause (the time in a woman's life when she stops having menstrual periods, the average age for the onset of menopause is 51 years), your body fat distribution will tend to shift. You will notice less fatty areas in your legs, arms and hips, and more in your abdomen (belly).

FACT: Body Mass Index is not an accurate measure of body fat percentage or fat distribution in women, particularly after menopause. Some women can actually experience an expanding waistline yet fail to see any weight gain on the scales. What is happening? Although you may not be gaining any extra fat, your actual abdominal fat is increasing as your hip area and limb fat decreases. This is where health problems can start to develop as abdomen fat is particularly unhealthy for both males and females.
