Back in 2002, a research study blew apart the widely held belief that hormone replacement therapy protected women from heart disease and other chronic ills. Instead, the Women's Health Initiative study found that taking estrogen plus progestin hormone replacement therapy HRT actually increased a woman's risk of heart disease and breast cancer. The study had a huge effect: Within months the number of women using HRT dropped by almost half. A second WHI study published two years later reinforced the message, finding that taking estrogen alone also increased the risk of stroke, dementia and other problems. But confusion over if, why and when to use HRT has lingered. This week, the Women's Health Initiative published a final comprehensive report on its long, broad and deep look at women and HRT. The study, which was published in JAMA, the journal of the American Medical Association, monitored the health of 27,347 postmenopausal women while they were in the two HRT randomized trials and in the years after. It sums up results that have been published piecemeal in more than 100 articles. Dr. JoAnn Manson has been working on the Women's Health Initiative study for two decades.

October 2, 2013 News Review From Harvard Medical School -- More Details in Long-Term Hormone Study Results of a new, longer-term study confirm that women should not take hormone replacement therapy to reduce any disease risk after menopause. But short-term treatment for menopause symptoms seems to be safe. The new results are consistent with advice doctors have been giving for about a decade. The new study is a follow-up to the Women's Health Initiative. That study changed medical practice when it was published in 2002. The study was stopped early when it found that women who were randomly assigned to take estrogen and progestin had higher risks of breast cancer, heart attack, stroke and blood clots. They were compared with women taking placebo (fake) pills. A study of women taking estrogen alone found a slightly higher risk of blood clots and stroke. The new study looked at the women's health after 13 years. It clarified some risks for younger women in the study, those ages 50 to 59. Younger women who were in the estrogen-only study had a slightly lower rate of heart attack and fewer deaths than women who took placebo pills. But blood-clot rates were higher for women … Continue reading →

By Amy Norton HealthDay Reporter TUESDAY, Oct. 1 (HealthDay News) -- No good evidence supports using hormone replacement therapy after menopause to prevent heart disease or other chronic ills, but short-term use for hot flashes should be an option. That's the conclusion of the latest analysis of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), a group of major U.S. trials set up to test use of hormone replacement therapy for preventing chronic diseases in healthy, older women. The WHI was launched in the 1990s, at a time when doctors were prescribing hormone replacement therapy to postmenopausal women to ward off heart disease. The results changed common practice, however. In 2002, one of the trials was stopped early when researchers found that women taking the hormones -- estrogen-plus-progestin pills -- actually had higher risks of blood clots, heart attack, stroke and breast cancer than placebo users did. A second trial, looking at estrogen therapy alone, was stopped two years later. Women on the hormone showed no lower risk of heart disease, but did have a slightly elevated rate of blood clots and stroke. The latest findings, published in the Oct. 2 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, do nothing to … Continue reading →

A follow-up to one of the largest studies on postmenopausal women reveals that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may not provide protective benefits against heart disease and other chronic conditions, and some forms might raise risk for certain diseases, like breast cancer. However, short-term hormone use for menopause-related conditions may still be beneficial. The new study, published Oct. 2 in JAMA, re-examined women from the Women's Health Care Initiative, a research program started in 1991 that involved nearly 162,000 postmenopausal women. The new analysis included data on the women 13 years after the landmark study was completed. During the initial study, the women either took a placebo, estrogen, or an estrogen and progestin combination treatment for five to seven years. Previously, doctors believed that hormonal treatments that use estrogen may be able to treat menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness, as well as provide protection against some conditions caused by aging like heart disease and bone loss. But, preliminary results from the Women's Health Care Initiative in 2002 showed that women taking an estrogen and progestin treatment had higher risks of blood clots, heart attacks, stroke and breast cancer compared to others taking a placebo. Research published two … Continue reading →
