Estrone, sex hormone binding globulin and lipid profiles in older women: an observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We investigated whether estrone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations are associated with lipid concentrations in older postmenopausal women.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study of 6358 Australian women, aged 70-95 years, recruited between 2010 and 2014. Associations between estrone and SHBG and lipid concentrations were examined in participants not using medications that influence estrogen concentrations or lipid-lowering therapy. Linear regression models included age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, renal function and diabetes, with the lowest quartile (Q1) as the reference for estrone and SHBG.

Results

The study included 3231 participants with median age of 74.0 (interquartile range 71.7-77.9) years. Estrone concentrat
