For many years, it has been recognized that estrogens are important in the maintenance of human skin. Women seek cosmetic and medical treatments to improve dermal health and physical characteristics...


Discussion: Estrogens are paramount in maintaining dermal health and have many anti-aging characteristics by binding to estrogen receptors in the skin. Especially where skin collagen and elastin profiles are known to follow 17β-estradiol levels during aging and at/after menopause.

Limited evidence of a threshold effect for increasing adiposity on risk of symptoms at midlife - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36166728/

doi: 10.1097/GME.0000000000002074. Online ahead of print. 1 From the Department of Anthropology, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA. 2 Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA....


Conclusion: Even at very high levels of BMI, likelihood of urinary incontinence and shortness of breath increases with BMI. In contrast, likelihood of aches/stiffness has a nonlinear relationship with BMI, increasing to a threshold level.

The Potential Role of Serum IGF-1 and Leptin as Biomarkers: Towards Screening for and Diagnosing Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

The Potential Role of Serum IGF-1 and Leptin as Biomarkers: Towards Screening for and Diagnosing Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common type of osteoporosis (OP), which is a condition affecting approximately 33% women over 60yr in China. Estrogen is an essential element in the bone...


Conclusion: IFG-1 and leptin seem to be key biomarker associated with PMOP in this study. The high prevalence of PMOP makes these cytokines with highly attractive in clinical practice. Although we did not perform longitudinal assessments, IGF-1 and leptin might bear the potential of becoming a very useful screening test also for clinical...
