Abstract in brief

Female hormones like oestrogen and progesterone decline after menopause, which can negatively impact muscle and tendon health.
The lack of these hormones may reduce response to exercise and dietary interventions that help maintain muscle mass, potentially accelerating muscle loss and functional decline in postmenopausal women.
While hormone replacement therapy might help slow muscle deterioration, more research is needed to understand its mechanisms and to develop clear guidelines for its use.]
