Model 1: adjusted for menopausal status, HT use in days, baseline use of progestogen and follow-up time in days. Adjusted model: adjusted for menopausal status, HT use in days, baseline use of progestogen, follow-up time in days, MET-hours/day and age at baseline. * Absolute and relative muscle areas were not adjusted for baseline progestogen use, as all participants were non-users at baseline. ALM, appendicular lean mass; ALMI, appendicular lean mass index; HT, hormone replacement therapy; LBM, lean body mass; LBMI, lean body mass index; MET, metabolic equivalent. Significant results (P ≤ 0.050) are shown in bold.
