Effect of Postmenopausal Hormone Replacement Therapy on Heart Rate Variability
<p>Minimal research has addressed effects of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of cardiovascular autonomic balance and a predictor of cardiac morbidity/mortality. Using an exploratory, pre-test/post-test design to describe HRV in …

MUSCULOSKELETAL STRENGTH, FALL AND FRACTURE RISK IN EARLY POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN
Purpose: To evaluate the course of recovery in fall-risk and functional status over the first year following a distal radius fracture (DRF), and evaluate differences in fall and fracture risk factors in women over the age of 50 years with a DRF compared to their non-fractured peers. Methods: Two …
