OBJECTIVE: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass, reduced bone strength, and increased fracture risk. We aimed to investigate the association between combined dietary antioxidant intake and the likelihood of osteoporosis in premenopausal and postmenopausal women, based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. METHODS: Nutrient intake data were obtained using two 24-hour recalls. Composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI), which refers to the intake amounts of β-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, zinc, copper, and iron, was then constructed...

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the association between CONUT score and postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS: Postmenopausal women who were seen at an outpatient clinic in a tertiary hospital for routine gynecologic examination between January 2017 and June 2022 were included in the study. Based on their T-scores, a total of 423 women were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 216 women with osteoporosis (T-score < -2.5 SD), and group 2 included 207 women with normal bone mineral density (T-score > -1 SD)...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the value of laser acupuncture (LA) on forearm bone mineral density (BMD) and wrist pain in osteoporotic postmenopausal women. METHODS: Sixty-eight postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis were randomly allocated equally to one of two sets. The drug-only group received calcium and vitamin D3 supplement containing fluoride daily for 12 weeks, whereas the drug/LA group received LA therapy for 20 minutes per session, three sessions weekly, in addition to the same supplementation...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine BRCA-mutation carrier women's interest and acceptability of participating in a study examining prophylactic salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy (PSDO) as an alternative to the current recommendation for bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for risk reduction. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study. All women visiting the high-risk clinics for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in a single tertiary medical center were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning the two-stage approach from October 2018 to December 2019...

OBJECTIVE: Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is known to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, since the Women's Health Initiative study, the types and doses of female hormones used for MHT have changed considerably. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine whether MHT, which is currently widely prescribed, increases the risk of T2DM. METHOD: We performed a retrospective cohort study based on national health insurance data and cancer screening data from 2002 to 2019...

OBJECTIVE: Although an association between hormone therapy (HT) and the risk of developing lung cancer has been reported, the results on the topic are inconsistent. Our study objective was to investigate whether postmenopausal women who undergo HT exhibit a risk of developing lung cancer. METHODS: In this matched cohort study, we obtained the data of 38,104 postmenopausal women older than 45 years who were treated using HT between 2000 and 2015 from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, and 152,416 matched participants who were not treated using HT were enrolled as controls at a 1:4 ratio...

Worldwide, more women with HIV are aging and entering menopause. Although a limited number of evidenced-based care recommendations are published, formal guidelines for the management of menopause in women with HIV are not available. Many women with HIV receive primary care from HIV infectious disease specialists, without any detailed assessment of menopause. Women's healthcare professionals specializing in menopause may have limited knowledge regarding the care of women with HIV. Clinical considerations for menopausal women with HIV include distinguishing menopause from amenorrhea because of other etiologies, early assessment of symptoms, and recognizing unique clinical, social, and behavioral comorbidities to facilitate care management...

OBJECTIVE: A phase 2 study showed that 15 mg estetrol (E4) alleviates vasomotor symptoms (VMS). Here, we present the effects of E4 15 mg on vaginal cytology, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and health-related quality of life. METHODS: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, postmenopausal participants (n = 257, 40-65 y) were randomized to receive E4 2.5, 5, 10, or 15 mg or placebo once daily for 12 weeks. Outcomes were the vaginal maturation index and maturation value, genitourinary syndrome of menopause score, and the Menopause Rating Scale to assess health-related quality of life...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to further validate the German version of the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) questionnaire. METHODS: Data were collected in the context of two intervention studies. Forty-two women participated in clinical trial VMP-03/2018 (NCT04222647) and 79 women in clinical trial VFCrC-01/2021 (NCT05211505). Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach α. Correlations with other outcome measures such as a subjective assessment of symptoms and dyspareunia, the Vaginal Health Index, and the Vaginal Maturation Index were calculated regarding construct validity...

IMPORTANCE: Postmenopausal ovarian masses are not uncommon, and the incidence of ovarian cancer rises sharply after menopause. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the natural history and malignant potential of postmenopausal simple ovarian cysts. EVIDENCE REVIEW: PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), ClinicalTrials.gov, and ISRCTN (International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Register) were searched from inception to January 31, 2022...

OBJECTIVE: Over a third of women in the United States report a lifetime history of intimate partner violence. Although a recent review found that intimate partner violence is related to poor subjective sleep, the majority of studies involved reproductive-aged women and used suboptimal measures of interpersonal violence and/or insomnia. We examined the relationship between lifetime intimate partner violence and current clinical insomnia in a cross-sectional sample of midlife women veterans...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate safety and effectiveness of therapeutic ultrasound for treatment of postmenopausal vaginal dryness. METHODS: In a pilot study, postmenopausal women with self-reported vaginal dryness were randomized (1:1) to double-blind ultrasound treatment (n = 21) or sham (n = 21) for 12 weeks. Primary effectiveness endpoint was change from baseline to week 12 in Vaginal Assessment Scale symptoms (dryness, soreness, irritation, dyspareunia). Secondary effectiveness endpoint was scoring of clinician-reported Vaginal Health Index (elasticity, fluid, pH, mucosa, moisture)...

OBJECTIVE: Maternal age at last birth (ALB) of child is increasing in the United States, and it has been reported to influence future chronic diseases. However, the relationship of ALB and cardiovascular disease (CVD) events later in life has not been widely studied. We evaluated the association of ALB with CVD mortality. METHODS: Data were from 7,971 parous postmenopausal women older than 45 years who participated in the US National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey from 1999 to 2018 and had mortality follow-up data through to December 31, 2019...
