[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS AHadR0xz. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Studies examining the relation between endogenous postmenopausal hormone levels and cardiovascular disease have yielded conflicting results. After excluding women with a history of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use, the authors conducted a US case-control study in 1987-1992 comparing endogenous postmenopausal hormone levels in women with and without significant carotid atherosclerosis in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) cohort. Atherosclerosis was assessed by using B-mode ultrasound to measure carotid artery intimal-medial thickness (IMT). Cases (n=182) were postmenopausal women with average IMT measurements>=the 95th percentile. Controls (n=182) were frequency matched to cases on age and ARIC center and had IMT measurements
