New evidence, as released in the April 2024 edition of "Menopause" has demonstrated several major health benefits of HRT for women over the age of 65. These include a REDUCTION in rates of breast, ovarian, endometrial, colorectal and lung cancers, as well as a decrease in cardiovascular events, AMI, AFib, and even dementia. It would be of benefit to the primary care and specialty providers of this forum to be introduced to this enlightening data, to be better equipped to counsel their patients about the potential health benefits of HRT in relation to overall longevity and health span.
 
Learning Objectives:
  • Understand the health benefits of HRT in women over the age of 65 based on current evidence.
  • Improve understanding of health-related morbidities and mortality associated with menopause.
  • Improve understanding of overall benefits of HRT to tissue integrity and organ systems beyond climacteric symptoms.
  • Understand differences in dosing and route of administration of synthetic vs bioidentical hormone therapy.
