| Popis: | During a 24 day program of nutritional, behavioral and exercise interventions, we monitored lipid and weight changes in 14 postmenopausal women using replacement estrogens and 14 control women matched for age, weight, and ethanol use. At program entry, estrogen users had higher HDL cholesterol values and lower LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol to HDL ratios than nonusers. Both groups made significant improvements in their lipid profiles, with estrogen users continuing to have lower total cholesterol and higher HDL cholesterol values after the risk reduction program. A balanced program of nutrition, exercise and stress reduction appears to benefit all postmenopausal women, regardless of replacement estrogen status. |
