Some increase and others decrease. The summary is that age related hormone changes, in general, make it easier to gain weight and harder to loose it.
Both the shift in hormones and weight gain can be minimized if we develop good lifestyle habits at an early age and maintain them throughout life. If we wait until we are aging, overweight and facing health issues, it is more difficult to make a course correction. More difficult does not mean impossible. To the contrary, research has shown that there was marked improvements in the risk fastors associated with Metabolic Syndrome three weeks after a lifestyle shift to fewer calories, more exercise and better food choices.
