abstract="This study investigated if self-reports of alcohol use correlated with estradiol and testosterone levels in adolescent females. Ninety-four female senior high school student volunteers from 2 schools completed a questionnaire regarding alcohol use. Twenty cc of blood was assayed for estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, and FSH. Total estradiol levels were higher in females who reported current alcohol use (p < or = 0.05), and females with higher levels of both testosterone and estradiol were more likely to be using alcohol currently (p < or = 0.05). Hormonal relationships associated with adolescent alcohol use may be related to future health risks of alcohol use and/or increased risk of alcohol use.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
