BACKGROUND AND AIM: Obesity and @entity6 are related to @entity1561 ( @entity1561 ). A reduction in @entity33422 ( @entity33422 ) is associated with @entity28 and @entity6 in postmenopausal @entity1 . Thus, we aim to investigate whether @entity33422 is associated with @entity1561 in @entity1 over 55 who were postmenopausal with a high probability. METHODS: Our data were obtained from the 2014 Survey on Prevalence in East China for @entity209 and Risk Factors. 1635 @entity1 at the age of 55-89 were selected. The degrees of @entity1560 were categorized into mild and moderate-severe @entity1560 groups by ultrasonography. @entity33422 and other sex hormones were measured by chemiluminescence. RESULTS: 366 (22.4%) and 417 (25.5%) @entity1 had mild and moderate-severe @entity1560 , respectively. @entity33422 was negatively correlated with waist circumference, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and other metabolic factors (all P <0.05). After adjusting for age, @entity53 and total @entity251 , increased quartiles of @entity33422 were associated with significantly decreased odds ratios of mild and moderate-severe groups (both P for trends <0.05). After further adjustment for waist circumference and HOMA-IR, @entity33422 was no longer associated with mild @entity1560 . The association of @entity33422 with moderate-severe @entity1560 was attenuated by waist circumference and HOMA-IR but persisted in the fully adjusted model (P for trend <0.01). CONCLUSION: @entity33422 was negatively associated with @entity1561 in @entity1 over 55 years old. @entity1386 and insulin resistance explained most of the association of mild @entity1560 and partially explained the association of moderate-severe @entity1560 with @entity33422 .
