Relationship between estrogen use and musculoskeletal function in postmenopausal women.
Debra A. Bemben,David B. Langdon +1 more
TLDR
Women taking estrogen exhibited similar muscular strength, muscle size, and body composition as their estrogen-deficient counterparts, and generally, body composition influenced hip BMD more than muscular strength or estrogen use.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of estrogen on skeletal muscle: sex matters.
Deborah L. Enns,Peter M. Tiidus +1 more
TL;DR: In recent years, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or estrogen combined with exercise have been proposed as potentially therapeutic agents for postmenopausal women, as these agents may potentially limit muscle damage and inflammation and stimulate repair in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hormone Therapy and Skeletal Muscle Strength: A Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: Overall, estrogen-based treatments were found to beneficially affect strength in postmenopausal women.

The association of sex hormone levels with poor mobility, low muscle strength and incidence of falls among older men and women
Laura A. Schaap,Saskia M F Pluijm,Johannes H. Smit,Natasja M. van Schoor,M. Visser,Louis Gooren,Paul Lips +6 more
TL;DR: Whether low levels of oestradiol and testosterone are associated with impaired mobility, low muscle strength and the incidence of falls in a population‐based sample of older men and women is examined.

Postmenopausal hormone therapy and body composition—a substudy of the estrogen plus progestin trial of the Women's Health Initiative
Zhao Chen,Tamsen Bassford,Sylvan B. Green,Jane A. Cauley,Rebecca D. Jackson,Andrea Z. LaCroix,Meryl S. LeBoff,Marcia L. Stefanick,Karen L. Margolis +8 more
TL;DR: A 3-y E+P intervention significantly reduced both the loss of lean soft tissue mass and the ratio of trunk to leg fat mass in postmenopausal women, however, the effect sizes were small, and whether these changes in body composition lead to significant health benefits remains to be confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of hormone replacement therapy and/or exercise on skeletal muscle attenuation in postmenopausal women: a yearlong intervention.
TL;DR: The results indicate that HRT, either alone or combined with exercise, may play a role in preserving/improving skeletal muscle attenuation in early postmenopausal women and thereby exert a positive effect on muscle performance.

The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE): development and evaluation.
TL;DR: The PASE is a brief, easily scored, reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of physical activity in epidemiologic studies of older people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential changes in bone mineral density of the appendicular and axial skeleton with aging: relationship to spinal osteoporosis.
TL;DR: Bone mineral density was measured in vivo at the lumbar spine (predominantly trabecular bone) by dual photon absorptiometry and at the midradius (greater than 95% cortical bone) and distal radius (75% cortical and 25% trabECular bone), by single photon absorptioniometry as mentioned in this paper.

Estrogen Replacement Therapy and Fractures in Older Women
Jane A. Cauley,Dana G. Seeley,Kristine E. Ensrud,Bruce Ettinger,Dennis M. Black,Steven R. Cummings +5 more
TL;DR: This study examined the association between estrogen use and bone mass in elderly women and found the protective effects of estrogen on fracture were greater in younger women and weaker in older women, as well as the relation between unopposed estrogen and fractures.

Muscle weakness in women occurs at an earlier age than in men, but strength is preserved by hormone replacement therapy
TL;DR: The dramatic peri-menopausal decline in muscle strength is a likely explanation for the known increases in falls and Colles' fractures around the time of the menopause.

On our age-related bone loss: insights from a new paradigm.
TL;DR: A new skeletal paradigm suggests the above mechanical influences would dominate control of the process in time and anatomical space.
