Cross-sectional analysis of gonadal hormone expression and relevant factors in female centenarians in Hainan, China / 中南大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVES@#Gonadal hormone is essential for the health of postmenopausal women, however, few studies have focused on the epidemiological distribution of gonadal hormones in postmenopausal women in very late postmenopausal women. This study aims to investigate and analyze the differences of serum gonadal hormone content and its influential factors among female centenarians in Hainan, China.@*METHODS@#The questionnaire and physical examination data of 741 female centenarians and 401 elderly females in Hainan Province were collected, and venous blood samples were taken to detect the indexes of lipid metabolism, bone metabolism, and gonadal hormone. The differences of gonadal hormones and relavant factors in female centenarians were analyzed and compared.@*RESULTS@#The serum levels of estradiol and progesterone of female centenarians were significantly higher than those of the elderly females (both P<0.001). The serum levels of estradiol and testosterone of ethnic minority centenarians were higher than those in Han nationality (P<0.001), and the serum estradiol and testosterone concentrations were relatively higher when the daily activities were more than 10 min (both P<0.05). Serum estradiol concentration was negatively correlated with apolipoprotein A-I, high density lipoprotein, triglyceride and bone formation markers such as calcium, inorganic phosphorus and vitamin D3, and was positively correlated with the special sequence of β-collagen (markers of bone resorption) (all P<0.01).@*CONCLUSIONS@#For the extremely late postmenopausal women (such as centenarians), there may be characteristic expressions of gonadal hormones, especially estradiol. There is an unprotective correlation of serum estradiol with lipid metabolism index and bone metabolism index in female centenarians, so it is necessary to evaluate the estrogen content and the use of estrogen therapy in postmenopausal women.

Characteristics of serum lipid levels in 899 centenarians of Hainan / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective To investigate the characteristics of serum lipid levels in centenarians in Hainan province.Methods A total of 899 centenarians were enrolled.Fasting venous blood samples were collected,and serum levels of total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A1),apolipoprotein B(Apo B) and lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] were determined.Characteristics of serum lipid levels in centenarians with different age and gender were analyzed.Results The ratio of male to female in this study was 1 ∶ 4,101 years of age comprised the largest proportion(20.4 ％,183 cases),and the highest age was 109 years old for men and 116 years old for women.People aged 102 years had the highest levels of TC,TG,LDL-C and Apo B,and also had the lowest levels of HDL-C and Apo A1.Serum levels of TC and LDL-C reached the peak at the age of 102 years and showed downward trends year by year.Serum levels of TC,TG,LDL-C,Apo A1 and Apo B were lower in males than in females(P＜0.01),and HDL-C had no significant difference between males and females(P ＞0.05).The detection rates for abnormal serum lipid levels were higher in females than in males(P＜0.01).Serum Lp(a) level was higher in females than in males.Conclusions Serum lipid levels show a peak expression at a certain age in centenarians of Hainan,and the types and ratio of abnormal blood lipids are higher in female centenarians than in male centenarians.
