Are serum FSH levels associated with 10-year ASCVD risk and cardiometabolic factors in postmenopausal women?
Low serum FSH levels may serve as a risk factor or biomarker for increased cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women.
Serum FSH levels were negatively associated with 10-year ASCVD risk in postmenopausal women. Among cardiometabolic factors, obesity indices had the largest associations with FSH. These results indicated that a low FSH might be a risk factor or a biomarker for cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women.
Wang et al. (2017) studied this question.
