Skeletal muscle weakness occurs with aging and in females this is compounded by the loss
of estrogen with ovarian failure. Estrogen deficiency mediates decrements in muscle …

Background Women experience drastic hormonal changes during midlife due to the
menopausal transition. Menopausal hormonal changes are known to lead to bone loss and …

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine differences in physical performance (muscle
power, muscle strength, aerobic capacity, and walking speed) across menopausal stages …

Background In women, metabolic health deteriorates after menopause, and the role of
physical activity (PA) in mitigating the change is not completely understood. This study …

Skeletal muscle mass, strength, and regenerative capacity decline with age, with many
measures showing a greater deterioration in females around the time estrogen levels decrease …

The older Finnish Twin Cohort (FTC) was established in 1974. The baseline survey was in
1975, with two follow-up health surveys in 1981 and 1990. The fourth wave of assessments …

In midlife, women experience hormonal changes due to menopausal transition. A decrease
especially in estradiol has been hypothesized to cause loss of muscle mass. This study …

Objective: The multidisciplinary Estrogenic Regulation of Muscle Apoptosis (ERMA) study
was designed to reveal how hormonal differences over the menopausal stages affect the …

For women, menopausal transition is a time of significant hormonal changes, which may
contribute to altered body composition and regional adipose tissue accumulation. Excess …

Aims We studied the changes in the circulating metabolome and their relation to the menopausal
hormonal shift in 17β-oestradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone levels among women …
