Females develop multiple hormonal alterations and certain genes may be involved in the intensity of subsequent symptoms including both mood and drug seeking. Seventy Four (74) females were included (mean age=60.23, SD=9.21, [43-87]). A medical evaluation was completed with hormone screening using a number of statistical analyses such as Pearson product moment; one way ANOVA and Regression analysis along with a Bonferroni significance correction p<.004. Of 120 correlations performed, significant hormone/domain correlations were as follows: DHEA/Genitourinary (r=.30, p<.05); FSH/Pulmonary (r=-.29, p<.05); Pregnenolone/Genitourinary (r=.40, p<.006) /Immunological (r=.38, p<.008); Testosterone/total endorsed symptoms (r=-0.34, p<.016); TSH/Pulmonary (r=-.33, p<.03) /Gynecological (r=.30, p<.05). Estrone/Musculoskeletal (r=-0.43, p<.012). After a Bonferroni corre.. View More»
