This study examined the associations between serum leptin levels, sex steroid hormone levels, and hot flashes in normal weight and obese midlife women. Cross-sectional study. University clinic. Two-hundred and eleven Caucasian women who were non-smokers between the ages of 45 and 54 years with a body mass index (BMI) of <25 kg/m2 or ≥30 kg/m2 were included. Intervention(s): Participants completed a questionnaire and provided fasting blood samples, which were used to measure leptin and sex steroid hormone levels. Correlation and regression models were performed to examine associations between leptin levels, hormone levels, and hot flashes. Serum leptin levels Leptin levels were associated with BMI (r=0.75, p<0.0001). Leptin levels were associated with ‘ever experiencing hot flashes’ (p=0.04), hot flashes within the last 30 days, (p=0.03), and duration of hot flashes (>1 year, p=0.03). Leptin was positively correlated with testosterone, free testosterone index, and free estrogen index; meanwhile, leptin levels were inversely associated with levels of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). In women with a BMI≥30 kg/m2, leptin levels were no longer correlated with testosterone levels. Based on this data, serum leptin levels are associated with the occurrence and duration of hot flashes in midlife women; albeit, no correlation was found between leptin and serum estradiol.
