Sunbathing After Menopause May Be Harmful

Menopausal women who frequently sunbathe have increased levels of gonadotropins and lower levels of estrogen than their peers who are not active sun worshipers. Low estrogen levels and higher levels of other hormones increase the risk for a number of health problems, including Alzheimer's disease.
