Postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy and risk of cholecystectomy: a prospective cohort study
TL;DR: This prospective study of postmenopausal women adds to the evidence that use of HRT may increase the risk of cholecystectomy, where the most common regimen of H RT has been different from those investigated in previous studies.

TL;DR: The overall pattern was not significantly modified by other CRC risk factors and there was no effect heterogeneity by tumor site or stage, providing further evidence that there is a J‐shaped association between alcohol consumption and CRC risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy and risk of acute pancreatitis: a prospective cohort study
TL;DR: Use of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy was associated with increased risk of acute pancreatitis, and Physicians should consider this potential increase in risk when prescribing such therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
High insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) is associated with low relative muscle mass in older women
TL;DR: Women with higher IGFBP-1 were more likely to have a low relative muscle mass, suggesting high IGF BP-1 may be a marker of a catabolic state.
