HRT increases ovarian cancer risk by small amount
Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that ovarian cancer risk was significantly increased in current HRT users, even in those with less than five years of HRT use (the average was three years). In ex-users, risks decreased the longer ago HRT use had stopped, but risks during the first few years after stopping remained significant. Furthermore, about a decade after stopping, long-duration hormone therapy use (average nine years of HRT use), there still seemed to be a small excess risk. The review has a few limitations, however. The main one is that the review was heavily influenced by just two of t...

Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is associated with arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis
Osteoporosis and atherosclerosis are the two most common diseases in postmenopausal women. The association between osteoporosis with carotid atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke has been well documented (Jorgensen, Engstad, & Jacobsen, 2001; Lampropoulos, Papaioannou, & D’Cruz, 2012; Shaffer et al., 2007; van der Klift et al., 2002). Furthermore, recent studies demonstrated that osteoporosis is an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality (Kado, Browner, Blackwell, Gore, & Cummings, 2000; Marcovitz et al., 2005).

Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio is associated with arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis
Osteoporosis (OP) and atherosclerosis are the two most common diseases in postmenopausal women. The association between OP with carotid atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke has been well documented (Jorgensen, Engstad, & Jacobsen, 2001; Lampropoulos, Papaioannou, & D’Cruz, 2012; Shaffer et al., 2007; van der Klift et al., 2002).

Infertility etiologies are genetically and clinically linked with other diseases in single meta-diseases
The present review aims to ascertain whether different infertility etiologies share particular genes and/or molecular pathways with other pathologies and are associated with distinct and particular risks of later-life morbidity and mortality. In order to reach this aim, we use two different sources of information: (1) a public web server named DiseaseConnect (http://disease-connect.org) focused on the analysis of common genes and molecular mechanisms shared by diseases by integrating comprehensive omics and literature data; and (2) a literature search directed to find clinical comorbid relationships of infertility etiologi...

Five-year 'death test' for older adults launched online
Conclusion This large study has identified numerous risk factors associated with a person's risk of death within five years. Researchers used this information to develop an online tool that predicts someone's risk of death within the next five years. The study's strengths include its large sample size and the prospective nature of the study design. But there are some limitations. There may be some bias in the type of people who volunteered to take part. The death rate was lower than that of the average population in this age group, which may indicate that the participants were more interested in their health and so had he...

Age and sex differences of risk factors of activity limitations in Japanese older adults
ConclusionMental health was the most important factor of activity limitations in Japanese older adults. Furthermore, low back pain regardless of age and sex, other musculoskeletal diseases only for women and cardiovascular diseases mainly for men could also be significant risk factors to activity limitations. Therefore, preventive approaches of activity limitations considering sex differences are important for older adults in Japan. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2015; ●●: ●●–●●.

A systematic review of barriers to optimal outpatient specialist services for individuals with prevalent chronic diseases: what are the unique and common barriers experienced by patients in high income countries?
Health utilization and need assessment data suggest there is considerable variation in access to outpatient specialist care. However, it is unclear if the types of barriers experienced are specific to chronic disease groups or experienced universally. This systematic review provides a detailed summary of common and unique barriers experienced by chronic disease groups when accessing and receiving care, and a synthesized list of possible health service initiatives to improve equitable delivery of optimal care in high-income countries. Quantitative articles describing barriers to specialist outpatient services were retrieved...

Associations between calcium and vitamin D supplement use as well as their serum concentrations and subclinical cardiovascular disease phenotypes
Supplementation of calcium (Ca) and vitamin D for the prevention of osteoporosis is frequently found in Western countries. Recent re-analyses of clinical trials observed a higher risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in subjects taking Ca (+vitamin D) supplements, although the underlying mechanisms are not clear.
