Women 80+ with hormone therapy history had 14.3% stronger grip
Among women 65 and older, the association remained across activity levels: users with intermediate moderate-intensity activity had 16% greater grip strength, while even the most sedentary users had a 14% advantage. Additional context emphasized resistance and high-impact training around menopause for bone health alongside strength preservation.
A study finding was shared that linked menopausal hormone therapy history to 2.5% greater grip strength at ages 60–64 and 14.3% greater strength after age 80.
Additional context emphasized resistance and high-impact training around menopause for protecting bone health alongside strength preservation.
interesting signal, especially the 14.3% gap after 80, but i’d keep the brakes on. this is a history-of-use association, not proof therapy preserved muscle. grip strength tracks overall function, while the practical update is still resistance and high-impact training around menopause, with hormone decisions based on symptoms and risks.
