The relationships between sex hormone levels and muscle composition in postmenopausal women remain underexplored. To address this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional observational study utilizing data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Our analysis included 682 postmenopausal women aged 45-84 years with complete data, with a mean age of 63.

Secondary aims were to study whether person-centered care would lead to better health status, less fatigue, and better self-efficacy.
Design And Methods: The study is a prospective, single center study using a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the effect of a 12-month person-centered practice by means of a name-given nurse care manager, an interdisciplinary team, and peer-support against usual care.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored the link between fasting serum sex hormones and abdominal muscle characteristics in men aged 45-84, using data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis with 907 participants.
- Results indicated that higher levels of total testosterone and estradiol were tied to greater abdominal muscle area, while total testosterone positively impacted muscle radiodensity and SHBG showed an inverse relationship with it.
- Overall, the findings highlight the complex roles of sex hormones in muscle characteristics, emphasizing that testosterone and estradiol influence muscle area, and testosterone and SHBG affect muscle density.
Unlabelled: In this large population-based matched cohort study, patients with primary aldosteronism were at increased risk of hip fracture, particularly subgroups traditionally considered at higher risk of osteoporosis such as women, patients older than 56 years at diagnosis, patients with established cardiovascular disease at diagnosis, and patients treated with MRA.
Purpose: Previous studies suggest that primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with dysregulated bone homeostasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of hip fractures in patients with PA.
