Summary

This study looks at how exercise and healthy eating affect heart and metabolic health in women with multiple risk factors. Researchers will follow 180 pre- and postmenopausal women for 6 months, comparing exercise alone, exercise plus diet advice, and a stretching group. The goal is to understand how these lifestyle changes improve insulin resistance and other heart risk markers.
