Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of lifestyle intervention improve cardiovascular disease risk factors in community-based menopausal transition and early postmenopausal women in China.
The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of a 12-month lifestyle intervention in improving cardiovascular disease risk factors in community-based menopausal transition and early postmenopausal women in China. ⋯ Lifestyle intervention may be an effective means for reducing cardiovascular disease risk factors in menopausal transition and early postmenopausal women in China.

Current antimüllerian hormone (AMH) immunoassays are insufficiently sensitive to detect circulating AMH levels in ovulatory women approaching menopause. The aim of this study was to detect serum AMH levels across the menstrual cycle with age, using two new AMH enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits with increased sensitivity and differing specificity. ⋯ The new 24/32 and 24/37 AMH ELISAs have the sensitivity to monitor ovarian follicle profiles in late reproductive age.
