[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 75115, member: 3"] Postmenopausal have lower estrogen levels due to menopause. Heavy use of alcohol in this group of women led to more muscle wasting, less strength and poorer physical performance. Exercise, and possibly postmenopausal estrogen, may play a beneficial role in maintaining muscle mass," JoAnn V. Pinkerton, MD, executive director of The North American Menopause Society, told MedPage Today in an interview. Pinkerton, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Virginia Healthcare System in Charlottesville, who was not involved in the study, highlighted that this is one of several studies in the literature showing an adverse link between postmenopausal health and consumption of alcohol. She added the findings of this study "strengthens the recommendation that postmenopausal women should limit their alcohol intake to improve their health as they age." With the theory of bolstering muscle mass and function in postmenopausal women, the study authors referenced promising findings of some prior studies which have suggested estrogen therapy as a treatment for sarcopenia.
