Separate logistic regression models for a series of important gynecological and sexual conditions, each regressed on a standardized maturation value (MV*). Data from postmenopausal women ages 57–85 in Wave 1 (2005–2006) of the National Social Life, Health and Aging Project (NSHAP)a

Maturation value standardized by subtracting the sample mean and dividing by the sample standard deviation. All models include age and HT use in the last 12 months as covariates. Estimates weighted to account for unequal probabilities of selection and differential response rates. Confidence intervals and p-values utilize design-based standard errors, taking into account the stratification and clustering in the sample design.
Sample size differs slightly between models due to missing data for certain outcomes.
Only asked of women who were sexually active within the past 12 months.
