Menopause increases the risk of insulin resistance and cardiometabolic diseases. This study summarizes the effects of hormone therapy (HT) on insulin resistance in non-diabetic postmenopausal women.
The study analyzed randomized controlled trials (1998-2024) that assessed the impact of HT on insulin resistance using homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in non-diabetic postmenopausal women. Raw mean differences (RMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model. Subgroup analysis compared estrogen alone (E alone) and estrogen plus progestogen (E + P) to placebo.
Seventeen randomized controlled trials with 5772 women (3644 on HT: E alone [ = 1259] or E + P [ = 2385]; 2128 on placebo) were included. The weighted mean (standard deviation) age was 56.91 (5.95) years, with treatment lasting 8 weeks to 3 years. HT significantly reduced HOMA-IR (RMD = -0.24 [-0.32 to -0.16], < 0.001, = 60.3%). Subgroup analysis showed reductions in both E alone (RMD = -0.42 [-0.55 to -0.29], < 0.001, = 35%) and E + P (RMD= -0.14 [-0.23 to -0.04], = 0.005, = 13.7%) compared to placebo.
HT significantly lowers insulin resistance in healthy, non-diabetic postmenopausal women, with E alone yielding greater reductions than combination therapy.
绝经会增加胰岛素抵抗和心脏代谢疾病的风险。本研究总结了激素疗法(HT)对非糖尿病绝经后女性胰岛素抵抗的影响。
该研究分析了1998年至2024年的随机对照试验,这些试验使用胰岛素抵抗稳态模型评估(HOMA-IR)来评估HT对非糖尿病绝经后女性胰岛素抵抗的影响。采用随机效应模型计算95%置信区间(CI)的原始平均差异(RMD)。亚组分析比较了单纯雌激素(单用E)和雌激素加孕激素(E+P)与安慰剂的效果。
纳入了17项随机对照试验,共5772名女性(3644名接受HT治疗:单用E[=1259]或E+P[=2385];2128名接受安慰剂治疗)。加权平均(标准差)年龄为56.91(5.95)岁,治疗持续8周至3年。HT显著降低了HOMA-IR(RMD=-0.24[-0.32至-0.16],P<0.001,I²=60.3%)。亚组分析显示,与安慰剂相比,单用E(RMD=-0.42[-0.55至-0.29],P<0.001,I²=35%)和E+P(RMD=-0.14[-0.23至-0.04],P=0.005,I²=13.7%)均有降低。
HT可显著降低健康非糖尿病绝经后女性的胰岛素抵抗,单用E比联合治疗的降低幅度更大。
