Susan thanks for taking the time to point out! Can you tell me where you are seeing it backwards so I can check? Are you referring to “And for women, lower body strength in particular is tied to reduced risk of cognitive decline” That part is true. But I’m trying to see the part you are referring to. Thanks!
I was confused by lower body strength. I thought it meant “less body strength,” and my husband said that means leg strength, so it does make sense. I had it all wrong. So sorry to have confused you and/or any readers. Please forgive me.
This is so interesting - I've never thought of muscle as a form of hormone therapy, but clinically it makes so much sense. Makes you also wonder of the implications of the GLPs when a common side effect is a loss of muscle mass - and what that would mean for long-term hormonal homeostasis. It would be a very interesting research question!
This is something that is being investigated. And also why it’s so so important to be paying attention to body composition if you’re on these medications.
This is great! I’m 61, hadn’t touched a gym in my life then learned that my bone density was declining. I started with a 6 week trial at a small gym- thinking I’d hate it- and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. 7 months in I feel stronger, enjoy the community there and my balance is better. I’ve just started taking collagen too, and eat plenty of protein. It’s so good to read that ‘it’s never too late’, thanks for writing.
Shouldn’t’ this say “greater body strength is associated with slower cognitive decline.” It is backwards above.

No, no problem!! I appreciate you taking the time to tell me if you were confused!
