Body composition in women with premature ovarian insufficiency using hormone therapy and the relation to cardiovascular risk markers: A case‐control study

Clinical Endocrinology Oct 09, 2020

Freitas ATA, Giraldo AED, Rezende GP, et al. - In this case‐control study, researchers sought to compare body composition between women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) utilizing hormone therapy and controls with normal ovarian function and to correlate body composition with cardiovascular risk markers in the POI group. The sample consisted of 70 women with POI matched by age and BMI with 70 controls. In terms of lean and fat mass content and fat distribution, the body composition of women with POI using hormone therapy is close to that of females with normal ovarian function. The higher the A/G ratio in women with POI the worse the cardiovascular risk markers.
