Small

1. A decreased vertebral fracture rate has been demonstrated with this therapy, as has a small increase in BMD in older women.

Risk Factors

1. An annual screening test also is recommended for older women with risk factors for chlamydia (a new sex partner or multiple sex partners).

Blood

1. Tea intake is inversely related to blood pressure in older women.

Trial

1. Effects of calcium supplementation on body weight and blood pressure in normal older women: a randomized controlled trial.

Benefits

1. Older women who are at higher risk for colon cancer might discuss risks and benefits of HRT with their doctor.

Lower Rate

1. Sellors and colleagues showed a lower rate (9.6% for high-risk HPV) in older women than in younger women [ 31]; we also observe this trend.

Breast

1. False-negatives occur more often in younger women than in older women because the breast tissue of younger women is more dense.

Estrogen

1. If the scan shows osteoporosis, treatment, with the exception of estrogen and raloxifene, is similar to that suggested for older women.
2. Boron assists in synthesizing and raising the level of estrogen and testosterone in older women, thereby playing a major role in preventing bone loss.

Overweight

1. Being seriously overweight appears to be linked to cancers of the prostate, pancreas, uterus, colon, and ovary and to breast cancer in older women.

Patients

1. Hormone levels in older women: a study of post-menopausal breast cancer patients and healthy population controls.

Positive Effect

1. Other clinical trials have also found evidence that DHEA has a positive effect on bone density in older women.

Incidence

1. Bostick RM, Potter JD, Sellers TA, et al.: Relation of calcium, vitamin D, and dairy food intake to incidence of colon cancer among older women.

Prevalence

1. Prevalence of infection with carcinogenic human papillomavirus among older women.

Education Courses

1. Older women choose distance education courses.

Cognitive Function

1. Dental amalgam and cognitive function in older women: findings from the nun study.

Hpv Testing

1. HPV testing in primary screening of older women.

Cervical

1. Cervical cancer is more likely in older women with a prolonged history of pessary use.

Young Women

1. Oat bran fails to lower cholesterol in young women, in contrast to men and older women [ 52].

Older Men

1. Between 20 and 30% of hip fractures in the elderly occur in men and carry a higher mortality rate in older men compared to older women.

Diabetes

1. Diabetes Daily consumption of a small amount of pure ethanol by older women may slow or prevent the onset of diabetes by lowering the level of blood glucose.
2. Diabetes and incidence of functional disability in older women.

Estrogen Replacement Therapy

1. Estrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women is also effective, but this therapy is not recommended because of its adverse effects in older women.

Second Peak

1. In some populations, HPV prevalence demonstrates a second peak in older women.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

1. Hormone replacement therapy and incidence of Alzheimer disease in older women: the Cache County Study.

Bone Mineral Density

1. Greendale GA, Edelstein S, Barrett-Connor E. Endogenous sex steroids and bone mineral density in older women and men: the Rancho Bernardo Study.

Fractures

1. Annual high-dose oral vitamin D and falls and fractures in older women: a randomized controlled trial.
2. Estrogen replacement therapy and fractures in older women.

Age

1. Age affects the quality of chromosomes in an egg and that is why infertility and miscarriages are more common in older women.
2. Breast cancer is a leading cause of death in older women, which might suggest that the benefits of screening could be important at this age.

Middle-Aged

1. Although hypothyroidism most often affects middle-aged and older women, anyone can develop the condition, including infants and teenagers.

Risk

1. Dietary intake of dairy products, calcium, and vitamin D and the risk of hypertension in middle-aged and older women.
2. The relatively small rise in risk for total CHD events after age 55 should not obscure the progressive increase in risk for hard CHD in older women.

Hpv

1. Our data also indicate that HPV is an even better predictor in older women with a lower background HPV prevalence.

Men

1. Seroprevalence in younger women was 5.8-fold and in older women still 2.4-fold higher than in men of the same age.
2. Older women seem to be more at risk for gait disturbance and men for rigidity and tremor.
3. Data Synthesis: The prevalence of unsuspected thyroid disease is lowest in men and highest in older women.

Libido

1. Changes in voice and breast swelling is bothersome in men, but older women often report improvement of libido and perimenopausal symptoms.
2. Study results have been mixed, but some seem to suggest that DHEA may help improve libido in older women (but not younger women).

Mortality

1. Cardiovascular disease, interleukin-6, and risk of mortality in older women.

Prospective Study

1. Older women with diabetes have an increased risk of fracture: a prospective study.
2. Vertebral fractures and mortality in older women: a prospective study.
3. Bauer, DC, Nevitt, MC, Ettinger, B, Stone, K. Low thyrotropin levels are not associated with bone loss in older women: a prospective study.

Women

1. The prevalence of spontaneous hypothyroidism is between 1% and 2% and is more common in older women and 10 times more common in women than in men.
2. Overall, about 10 percent of women at any one time have an oncogenic HPV infection, and they are more common in young women than in older women.
3. Hypothyroidism occurs in up to 5 to 10% of older women; up to 20% of women over 60 have evidence of hypothyroidism.

Higher Rates

1. Older women also have significantly higher rates of coronary artery disease than younger women.
2. We would also expect to see higher rates of incidence of HPV in older women, possibly increasing the value of vaccinating at older ages.

Osteoporosis

1. Older women need plenty of calcium to prevent osteoporosis.
2. In older women, it is often related to osteoporosis.
3. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that is quite common, especially in older women.

Bone Health

1. A two-year randomized controlled trial of vitamin K(1) (phylloquinone) and vitamin D(3) Plus calcium on the bone health of older women.

Older Women

1. Older women (60 years and above) currently have the highest rates of hypertension, and mortality rates from hypertension are higher in women than in men.
2. Among women, age is a better predictor of moralism than education; older women are stricter than younger women on political ethics.
3. The risk of developing hypothyroidism tends to increase with age; older women have the highest risk.
