Headliner Yesterday in Conservative Medscape: "Hormone Therapy After Age 65 Good Option for Most Women"

Hormone Therapy (HT) is a good option for most women over age 65, despite entrenched fears about HT safety, according to findings from a new study published in Menopause.

The study, led by Seo H. Baik, PhD, of Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications, National Library of Medicine, in Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues is based on the health records of 10 million senior women on Medicare from 2007 to 2020. It concludes there are important health benefits with HT beyond age 65 and the effects of using HT after age 65 vary by type of therapy, route of administration, and dose.
