Inserm, Université Paris-Saclay, UVSQ, Gustave Roussy, CESP, Villejuif 94807, France.
Context: Although biological findings show that estrogens are beneficial for muscular mass maintenance and bone resorption inhibition, the association of hormonal exposure with physical performance are controversial.
Objective: We investigated the association of reproductive history and exogenous hormone use with hand-grip strength (GS) in women.
Methods: Using the data from the CONSTANCES French prospective population-based cohort study, we ran linear mixed models to investigate the association of reproductive history and exogenous hormones use with maximal GS in 37 976 women aged 45 to 69 years recruited between 2012 and 2020.

Article Synopsis
- Aging leads to increased risk of chronic diseases and higher mortality rates, with a focus on how intrinsic reproductive factors influence phenotypic aging in women.
- The study analyzed data from over 14,000 women, using advanced statistical methods to explore the connections between reproductive history and accelerated aging (PhenoAgeAccel).
- Results indicated that delayed menarche and gynecological surgeries were linked to faster aging, while having children slightly reduced this effect; additionally, lifestyle factors also played a significant role in these relationships, especially between premenopausal and postmenopausal women.*

A component of period poverty in the US can be attributed to the neglect of menstrual education and lack of menstrual health and hygiene tools in schools. This scoping review aims to examine the educational methods employed to improve menstrual knowledge in middle and high school menstruating students in both school and clinical settings.
