Arthralgia in midlife Singaporean women: the Integrated Women's Health Program (IWHP)
CONCLUSIONS: Arthralgia in midlife Singaporean women was associated with menopausal symptoms of vaginal dryness and physical and mental exhaustion. Women with poor muscle strength were more likely to experience menopausal arthralgia.PMID:38099561 | DOI:10.1080/13697137.2023.2287626 (Source: Climacteric)

Polycystic ovary syndrome: associations with cardiovascular disease
Climacteric. 2023 Dec 11:1-6. doi: 10.1080/13697137.2023.2282689. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), characterized by abnormal menstrual periods, elevated androgen levels and polycystic ovary morphology on ultrasound, is the most common endocrine disorder among females. PCOS is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors including diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, adverse pregnancy outcomes such as pre-eclampsia and psychosocial distress including depression. Previous evidence on the association between PCOS and CVD is inconclusive but the latest 2023 International Evidence-B...

Women's cardiovascular health - the cardio-oncologic jigsaw
Climacteric. 2023 Dec 11:1-8. doi: 10.1080/13697137.2023.2286382. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTImprovements in cancer care have led to an exponential increase in cancer survival. This is particularly the case for breast cancer, where 5-year survival in Australia exceeds 90%. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has emerged as one of the competing causes of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors, both as a complication of cancer therapies and because the risk factors for cancer are shared with those for CVD. In this review we cover the key aspects of cardiovascular care for women throughout their cancer journey: the need f...

Menopausal hormone therapy and coronary heart disease: the roller-coaster history
Climacteric. 2023 Dec 6:1-8. doi: 10.1080/13697137.2023.2282690. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the USA it is estimated that more than one million women become menopausal each year. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of mortality in menopausal woman globally. The majority of perimenopausal to postmenopausal women experience bothersome symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, mood liability, sleep disturbances, irregular bleeding and sexual dysfunction. While menopausal hormone therapy (HT) effectively treats most of these symptoms, use of HT has become confusing, especially related to CHD risk. Despit...
