The role of menopause and hyperlipidemia as risk factors for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder: insights from a Taiwan Biobank study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between menopause, hyperlipidemia, and the risk of developing calcific tendinitis (CT) of the shoulder in women aged 30-70 using data from the Taiwan Biobank. Their analysis revealed that both menopause and hyperlipidemia significantly increase the risk of CT, with the highest risk observed in women who have both conditions. The study highlights the importance of these factors in assessing the risk of CT among women in this population.
