Female sex hormones and body mass in adolescent and postmenopausal Korean women.
A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between body mass and serum level of female sex hormones among 153 adolescent girls, and 153 postmenopausal women in Korea. Information on lifestyles, and both menstrual and reproductive factors was collected by personal interview. S...

description | A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between body mass and serum level of female sex hormones among 153 adolescent girls, and 153 postmenopausal women in Korea. Information on lifestyles, and both menstrual and reproductive factors was collected by personal interview. Serum total estradiol (E2), progesterone (Pg), and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine whether the hormonal levels would be affected by the obesity indices. Body weight and body mass index (BMI) were inversely related to SHBG level in both premenopausal (p<0.005) and postmenopausal women (p<0.005) after adjusting for age. E2 levels during any phase in premenopausal girls were not related to BMI, whereas heavier girls had significantly higher levels of late luteal-phase Pg (p<0.05). Taller postmenopausal women had lower E2 levels (p<0.05). Results on the association between SHBG and BMI are consistent with previous results in Caucasian women, and might suggest the potential role of bioavailable estradiol in breast carcinogenesis in pre- and post-menopausal women. The finding that progesterone might be related to body mass in premenopausal women should be pursued in further studies. |
