For anyone reading the headlines about HRT and dementia this morning, please watch this.
The study referenced is an observational study so does not prove cause and effect. Also, it’s mainly looking at women who are taking older types of HRT which are very different to the types of HRT we prescribe now. Other studies have shown that people who take body identical HRT have a lower risk of dementia.
What it does show is that we urgently need to do more research in this area.
