The use of biochemical assays in epidemiologic studies of reproduction.

Recent progress in the assay of urinary hormones has opened new opportunities for epidemiologists to study hormones and health outcomes. This is especially true for studies of female reproduction. The cyclic nature of female reproduction can be fully described only by continuous frequent measurement...

description Recent progress in the assay of urinary hormones has opened new opportunities for epidemiologists to study hormones and health outcomes. This is especially true for studies of female reproduction. The cyclic nature of female reproduction can be fully described only by continuous frequent measurements that, in order to be practical, require easily collected biological specimens. We describe our experience in collecting and analyzing daily urine specimens from 301 healthy women. We conclude that this approach is not only feasible but potentially of great value to epidemiologists for studying fertility, early pregnancy, the effects of toxic exposures on reproduction, and the relationships between reproduction and later risk of chronic diseases.
