If you are a woman over 40, at some stage you are likely to face one or more of these health concerns:

✅Vitamin deficiencies:
The most common health issue that hits women in their 40s is vitamin D deficiency. A study published in the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care found that vitamin D deficiency is widely prevalent in women above the age of 40, which increases the risk of post-menopausal bone loss and osteoporosis.

✅Diabetes:
Several studies have found that the risk of diabetes increases as you age and the risk has been increasing exponentially across age groups in the past decade. There are several factors that contribute to the onset of diabetes in women over 40s.

✅Osteoporosis:
Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which your bones become weak and you experience bone loss. Women in their 40s become more prone to the disease due to menopause. Women with a family history of osteoporosis should do a bone densitometry test during their menopause to monitor their bone health.

✅Heart disease:
Did you know heart disease is the leading cause of death in women and also a cause of morbidity in this age group? It is important for women to understand the signs of symptoms of heart disease to prevent this from being a major health challenge. Poor eating habits, smoking, drinking alcohol, lack of exercise, and high cholesterol contribute to it.

✅Breast Cancer:
Women between the ages of 30 and 40 are at higher risk of developing breast cancer. It can be contributed to diet, environment, and overall health. Therefore, a regular breast self-examination or one done by a doctor is very important.

✅Stress-induced mental health conditions:
While stress is an inevitable part of life, it can become more prominent in your 30s and 40s. Excessive stress can lead to several mental health issues as well. Mental health disorders can occur at any age, however, there is an increased risk in middle-aged people due to the physiological changes that occur in a woman’s body during menopause.
