- Abstract
We investigated whether the 1944-1945 Dutch famine has affected postmenopausal sex hormone concentrations with data from 163 women (young adults during the famine). Urinary sex hormone concentrations showed modest elevations with increasing famine exposure. Effects were absent in parous women, but more pronounced in women who had never given birth.British Journal of Cancer (2004) 90, 115-117. doi:10.1038/sj.bjc.6601513 www.bjcancer.com
