Abstract
► Bilateral oophorectomy in young women is strongly associated with an increase in body fatness, a risk factor for chronic diseases. ► The strongest association between oophorectomy and body fat was observed among women who never used hormone therapy. ► Measuring body fat in addition to body mass index can provide a more comprehensive assessment of adiposity in these women.
