Key Takeaways
- ✦Creatine monohydrate (3-5g daily) shows promise for improving lean mass, strength, and bone density in postmenopausal women
- ✦CO2 laser treatments for genitourinary syndrome show sustained benefits at two-year follow-up in real-world settings
- ✦Simple tests like 3-meter backward walking and 30-second chair stands can help identify fall risk in postmenopausal women
- ✦These interventions address practical health concerns through non-hormonal approaches
- ✦Fall prevention screening could be proactive rather than reactive for better outcomes
