ObjectiveTo evaluate trends in the incidence of premenopausal unilateral and bilateral oophorectomy between 1950 and 2018.MethodsThe Rochester Epidemiology Project medical records-linkage system was used to identify all women aged 18-49 yea…

ObjectiveTo study the trajectories of metabolic parameters after bilateral oophorectomy.Study designThis population-based cohort study included a random sample of all premenopausal women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy at or before age…

ImportanceThe associations of bilateral oophorectomy among premenopausal women, age at oophorectomy, and use of estrogen therapy after oophorectomy with cognitive performance later in life remain controversial.ObjectiveTo investigate whethe…

ImportanceRestless legs syndrome is a common neurologic disorder that is more prevalent in women than in men, and it has been suggested that female hormones may be involved in the disorder's pathophysiology.ObjectiveTo determine whether wom…

ObjectiveThe incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is higher in women, and peaks around the age of menopause. Therefore, we investigated whether bilateral oophorectomy is associated with an increased risk of severe CTS.MethodsWe include…

ObjectiveWe studied eight mental health conditions diagnosed before bilateral oophorectomy performed for nonmalignant indications.MethodsWe identified 1,653 premenopausal women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy for a nonmalignant indicat…

Bilateral oophorectomy in premenopausal women is a unique condition causing the abrupt and premature loss of ovarian hormones, primarily estrogen. Bilateral oophorectomy causes an alteration of several fundamental aging processes at the cel…

ObjectivesBilateral oophorectomy has commonly been performed in conjunction with hysterectomy even in women without a clear ovarian indication; however, oophorectomy may have long-term deleterious consequences. To better understand this sur…

BackgroundThe cause-effect relationship between bilateral oophorectomy and accelerated aging remains controversial. We conducted new analyses to further address this controversy.MethodsThe Rochester Epidemiology Project records-linkage syst…

PurposeThis cohort study was established to investigate the effects of unilateral and bilateral oophorectomy on the ageing processes in women.ParticipantsWe used the records-linkage system of the Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP, http://…

ObjectiveTo study the association between bilateral oophorectomy and the rate of accumulation of multimorbidity.Patients and methodsIn this historical cohort study, the Rochester Epidemiology Project records-linkage system was used to ident…
