TL;DR: Examination of breast cancer risk related to lifetime exposure to oral contraceptives (OCs) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women found no indication that adverse effects of exposure to OCs or HRT appeared only in the presence of the other hormone or were exacerbated by exposure to the other hormones.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the association of oral contraceptive efficacy with body weight and body mass index (BMI) for hypothesis-generating purposes and found that women in the higher body weight or BMI category showed a small increase in the risk of pregnancy with these oral contraceptives.
Journal ArticleDOI
The intrauterine contraceptive device: An often-forgotten and maligned method of contraception☆☆☆
TL;DR: There is lack of compelling evidence that the intrauterine contraceptive device acts as an abortifacient, and the risk for pelvic inflammatory disease among users now appears to be extremely low, primarily as a result of better selection of candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive hormones and cardiovascular disease mechanism of action and clinical implications.
TL;DR: For example, this article found that social subordination, which induces estrogen deficiency in female monkeys, accelerates atherosclerosis premenopausally and predicts extent of postmenopausal atheros sclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Christopher I. Li,Robert W. Mathes,Kathleen E. Malone,Janet R. Daling,Leslie Bernstein,Polly A. Marchbanks,Brian L. Strom,Michael S. Simon,Michael F. Press,Dennis Deapen,Ronald T. Burkman,Suzanne G. Folger,Jill A. McDonald,Robert Spirtas +13 more
TL;DR: Data support a previous finding that a history of migraine may be associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer and extend the prior report in observing that this relationship holds for both premenopausal and postmenopausal women and is independent of exposure to common migraine triggers.
