BACKGROUND: A greater frequency of vasomotor symptoms (VMSs) has been associated with higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), but the association with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) remains unclear. Endogenous estradiol (E2) levels are associated with both VMS and lipid levels and thus may confound such associations. OBJECTIVES: To assess the relationship of VMS frequency with HDL-C, LDL-C, and lipoprotein concentrations (HDL and LDL particles [HDL-P; LDL-P]) and lipoprotein sizes in midlife women and to evaluate whether these associations are explained by E2. METHODS: Participants were from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) HDL ancillary study who had both nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy lipoprotein subclass metrics and self-reported frequency of VMS measured 2-5 times over the menopause transition. VMS frequency was categorized into none, 1-5 days (infrequent), or ≥6 days (frequent) within the past 2 weeks. RESULTS: We evaluated 522 women [at baseline: mean age 50.3 (SD: 2.8) years; infrequent VMS: 29.8%, frequent VMS: 16.5%]. Adjusting for potential confounders except E2, frequent VMS was associated with smaller HDL size [ß(SE): -0.06 (0.03); P = .04] and higher concentrations of LDL-C [ß(SE): 3.58 (1.77); P = .04] and intermediate LDL-P [ß(SE): 0.09 (0.05); P = .04] than no VMS. These associations were largely explained by E2, all P's > .05. CONCLUSIONS: Frequent VMSs were associated with smaller HDL size and higher concentrations of LDL-C and intermediate LDL-P. These associations were explained by endogenous E2. Whether treating frequent VMS with exogenous E2 could simultaneously improve lipids/lipoproteins profile should be assessed in future studies.
