Sex Steroids and Women’s Physical Performance in Midlife: Findings From the Menarche-To-PreMenopause Study
Findings from this study suggest that E1 was negatively associated with chair rise performance, whereas DHT and SHBG concentrations were positively associated with standing balance performance among Australian women in their 40s. While sex steroids seem to be closely related to performance, other factors, such as age and body size, may influence those associations.
