An older female patient complains about the growth of hair on her chin. The nurse understands that this complaint is consistent with which age-related change?
1. increased estrogen production
2. increased production of luteinizing hormone
3. decreased estrogen production
4. decreased production of follicle-stimulating hormone
Correct Answer: 3
The normal reduction in estrogen production associated with aging causes changes throughout the body, including loss of skin tone and growth of facial hair. Postmenopausal women experience a reduction in estrogen production. The levels of luteinizing hormone and FSH do not influence hair growth.
