- Abstract
- Hormone replacement therapy is extensively
used in the United States, especially for the possible prevention of
heart disease, osteoporotic fractures, and, more recently,
dementia. The results of recent clinical trials have raised new questions
about the risk and benefits of estrogen or
estrogen/progesterone therapy to prevent
heart attacks, the choice of specific drug
therapy such as specialized estrogen
receptor modulation (SERM). The change in risk factors, especially weight
gain or obesity, may determine the risks and benefits of hormone
replacement therapy. [References: 93]
