Does Menstrual Cycle Tracking Enhance Female Athlete Health and Performance? Evaluating Five Implicit Assumptions of an Emerging Paradigm
Exploring the Contributions of Gendered Social Factors to Sex Disparities in Adverse Drug Events
Cycle Effects Are Not Universal
OBJECTIVES: We need to better understand how the menstrual cycle interacts with other biological systems, such the inflammation and immune response. One way to study this interaction is through C-reactive protein (CRP). Studies of CRP concentrations across the menstrual cycle have been inconsistent. This study explores menstrual cycle CRP variation in two geographically different samples of Polish and Polish American individuals. METHODS: Analyse…
Bone density in postmenopausal women with scoliosis is associated with markers of degenerative joint disease
PURPOSE: Bone mineral density (BMD) measured with dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the clinical standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and prediction of bone fracture risk. In the aging skeleton, osteoporosis is often concomitantly present with degenerative joint disease (DJD). METHODS: In this study, we evaluated tissue-level changes in the differentially loaded concave (CC) and convex (CV) sides of the lumbar spine in a sample of postmeno…
A Gender Hypothesis of sex disparities in adverse drug events
The adult in the room
Parental involvement in research where children are the primary study participants is frequent but under-analyzed. To understand such dynamics in research with children, we examined children's (ages 8-14) interactions with parents who came in and out of view during our virtual interviews in our study, Photographing Health by Rural Adolescents in the MidwEst (PHRAME). We identified the pull and push of this adult involvement-a choreography in whic…
A Feminist Approach to Analyzing Sex Disparities in Covid-19 Outcomes
How Cumulative Statistics Can Mislead
Overall, men have died from COVID-19 at slightly higher rates than women. But cumulative estimates of mortality by sex may be misleading. We analyze New York State COVID-19 mortality by sex between March 2020 and August 2021, demonstrating that 72.7% of the total difference in the number of COVID-19 deaths between women and men was accrued in the first seven weeks of the pandemic. Thus, while the initial surge in COVID-19 mortality was characteri…

Bone density and frame size in adult women
OBJECTIVE: Bone mineral density (BMD) and frame size are important predictors of future bone health, with smaller frame size and lower BMD associated with higher risk of later fragility fractures. We test the effects of body size, habitual use, and life history on frame size and cortical BMD of the radius and tibia in sample of healthy adult premenopausal women. METHODS: We used anthropometry and life history data from 123 women (age 18-46) from …
Declining ages at menarche in an agrarian rural region of Poland
OBJECTIVE: Age at menarche in Poland has varied with political and socioeconomic changes. An increase in age at menarche corresponded to a period of economic crisis and food rationing between 1976 and 1989. Experiencing food shortages in utero or during childhood development can affect menarcheal timing, but this national effect may be buffered in local agrarian regions growing their own food. Here we examine patterns of age at menarche over time…
From maternal tending to adolescent befriending
Attachment theory holds that parental relationships have lifelong effects on offspring social lives. The tend‐and‐befriend hypothesis posits that female friendships among humans evolved as part of a primate‐wide coping mechanism to mediate stress by relying on social support. Here we bridge developmental and evolutionary frameworks to examine adolescent girls’ perception of their reliance on female friendship for social support, how perceptions o…
Physical activity in women of reproductive age in a transitioning rural Polish population
OBJECTIVE: Health research often focuses on moderate and vigorous intensity physical activity while neglecting low-intensity habitual activities. Our aim was to understand habitual physical activity in women from a transitioning economy using a physical activity monitor. METHODS: This study investigated physical activity in 68 healthy premenopausal women (age 18-46) in rural Poland using FitBit One activity trackers for 1 week. Standard anthropom…
