The association between sex hormones and prevalence of OA in US adults
The TT/E2 ratio was inversely associated with OA risk, with a stronger and more consistent effect observed in females. These findings suggest the TT/E2 ratio as a potential biomarker for OA risk stratification, particularly in postmenopausal females. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to clarify the causal role of the TT/E2 ratio in OA.
