The CEO of a telehealth startup, celebrities and medical doctors are trying to raise awareness about how the thinking on hormone therapy has evolved over the last twenty years.
Later analysis of the WHI study data focused on the age of the participants. This analysis found that primarily older women were at high risk from the use of these hormones, and that the benefits of hormone therapy generally outweighed the risks for healthy women who are under 60 years old and within ten years of the onset of menopause. Despite the good news, many women and doctors are still relying on the original warnings to guide their decisions regarding hormones.
In the same article, the authors conclude, “Observational studies, which include primarily women who initiate hormone therapy in early menopause, have generally demonstrated lower mortality among women using hormone therapy compared with nonusers.” In other words, according to these studies, women who started hormone therapy in early menopause tended to live longer than women who didn’t take hormones.
“There were all these alarm bells that went off in 2002. And once a bell is rung, it cannot be unrung,” Manson explains. “It's taking a very long time to make it clear that there were differences by age and that hormone therapy is still an appropriate treatment for women in early menopause who have moderate to severe symptoms. The results are all out there in prominent journals read by clinicians,” she says.
