Questions included physician-diagnosed osteoporosis, demographic and lifestyle variables, medical conditions, and present and past use of estrogen-containing medications. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from reported height and weight.Setting: A national population-based survey conducted from March through August 1998.Participants: A national random sample of 888 women aged 45-74.Main results: The overall prevalence of self-reported osteoporosis was estimated at 13.7%. The rates increased abruptly from about 5.8% at ages 45-59 to 19.6% at ages 60-64, and reached 27.7% at ages 70-74. Between ages 45-59, the rates were higher among Arab women, whereas in the older group they were higher among Jewish women. There was a marked increase following menopause. After adjustment for potential confounders, at ages 45-59, osteoporosis was positively associated with menopause and BMI, whereas at ages 60-74, it was positively associated with age and family history of osteoporosis, and negatively associated with BMI.Conclusions: The prevalence of physician-diagnosed osteoporosis in Israel among women aged 45-74 is estimated to be 13.7%, which is similar to that for the United States. The association of osteoporosis with risk factors is age-dependent, and in particular, age-BMI interaction on osteoporosis requires further investigation.","PeriodicalId":83105,"journal":{"name":"The journal of gender-specific medicine : JGSM : the official journal of the Partnership for Women's Health at Columbia","volume":"6 1","pages":"17-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22310105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients were assessed for lipid measurement of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides, and for changes in these measures.Results: A total of 356 patients were identified for analysis: 221 men (62%) and 135 women (38%). Mean post-PCI follow-up was 2.2 +/- 1.6 years. Among females, 80% had lipids measured, as compared with 87% of males (P = 0.07). At pre- and post-PCI, all fractions were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in women, except pre-PCI triglycerides, which were significantly lower in women. From pre- to post-PCI, HDL-C and triglycerides improved significantly more in males, while LDL-C improved significantly more in females. Target LDL-C levels (< 100 mg/dL) were achieved in 46.4% of the overall group. There were no significant gender-related differences in the number of patients treated with dyslipidemic medications or in patients achieving an LDL-C of < 100 mg/dL (P = 0.081).Conclusion: Following PCI, a gender bias did not exist for lipid assessment, number of patients treated with pharmacotherapy, or achievement of target LDL-C (< 100 mg/dL).

However, following a myocardial infarct, women are at increased risk of developing ventricular dysfunction.Objective: High levels of free fatty acids, observed in the clinical setting of ischemia, impair recovery of mechanical function during reperfusion of ischemic hearts. This study was designed to determine whether hearts from female rats are more sensitive to ischemia than male hearts when supplied with relevant levels of fatty acids.Methods: Hearts from male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were isolated and perfused in the working mode with 5.5 mM glucose and 50 microU/mL insulin alone or in the presence of 1.2 mM palmitate. Cardiac function, expressed as heart rate-pressure product (RPP), was measured under preischemic conditions and during reperfusion following a period of transient global ischemia.Results: Following the ischemic insult, RPP of male hearts returned to preischemic levels regardless of the substrates used. RPP of female hearts perfused with glucose alone also recovered to preischemic function. However, in female hearts perfused with the fatty acid, recovery of RPP was significantly lower compared to the female hearts perfused with glucose alone. In these hearts, recovery during reperfusion was only approximately 60% of preischemic function.Conclusion: Our results indicate that the sensitivity of the female myocardium to postischemic dysfunction is enhanced in the presence of fatty acids, suggesting that a gender effect on recovery of cardiac function following ischemia exists.","PeriodicalId":83105,"journal":{"name":"The journal of gender-specific medicine : JGSM : the official journal of the Partnership for Women's Health at Columbia","volume":"6 2","pages":"22-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22443917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This brief report describes the results of a survey of 39 patients with mental illness and their family members regarding perceived effects of menopause on mental illness.Methods: The survey was distributed to participants attending a National Alliance for the Mentally Ill educational presentation on menopause and mental health.Results: Most participants (15/39; 38.5%) had depression or had a family member with depression. Groups with other mental disorders were less represented, with 8/39 (20.5%) having schizophrenia, 6/39 (15.4%) having bipolar illness, and 10/39 (25.6%) having other disorders such as anxiety disorders or personality disorders. The mean age of the individuals/family members with mental illness was 51.2 years. Most participants (21/39; 53.8%) felt that menopause might be affecting their emotional symptoms or those of their family members, while 11/39 (28.2%) felt that their illness or their family member's illness was worse because of menopause or approaching menopause. There was a trend for perception of menopause affecting mental illness to be stronger among individuals with bipolar illness and depression, as compared to individuals with schizophrenia and other disorders (P = .052).Conclusions: Menopause is a significant life event among women with mental illness. Nearly 30% of individuals affected by mental illness perceive menopause to worsen symptoms of mental illness.","PeriodicalId":83105,"journal":{"name":"The journal of gender-specific medicine : JGSM : the official journal of the Partnership for Women's Health at Columbia","volume":"6 2","pages":"31-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22443919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the peaks of submaximal contractions to norepinephrine (NE) or endothelin (ET-1), rings were exposed to 5 x 10(-6) M acetylcholine (ACh) or 9 x 10(-9) M adrenomedullin (ADM) or 1.3 x 10(-8) M calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP).Results: Relaxation to ACh, ADM, and CGRP was endothelium-dependent. Hypertensive pulmonary arterial rings relaxed less to ACh and CGRP than controls in both genders. Female pulmonary hypertensive muscle was more rather than less reactive to ADM compared with controls. ADM-induced relaxation of NE contractions was 2.4 times greater in female compared with male control rings and 5.5 times greater in female compared with male hypertensive preparations. Gender differences in relaxation responses were similar for CGRP. MCT-treated female arterial rings relaxed more than did MCT-treated male arterial muscle in response to ACh. No difference in ACh relaxation was found between genders for controls.Conclusions: Pulmonary arterial relaxation to endothelium-dependent vasodilators is impaired in MCT-induced pulmonary hypertension with the exception of ADM in females. Vasodilators may be more effective in reducing pulmonary hypertension in females than in males.","PeriodicalId":83105,"journal":{"name":"The journal of gender-specific medicine : JGSM : the official journal of the Partnership for Women's Health at Columbia","volume":"6 3","pages":"30-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40827256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
