HRT and WHI: Fear vs Reality! (Part 1)

(Part 1) The media attention surrounding the publication of the initial results of WHI in 2002 led to fear and confusion regarding the use of hormonal therapy (HT) after menopause. In 2006, re-analysis of more complete data seemed to contradict the original findings. This led to a “retraction“ and re-explanation of the original data in 2007. Hormone therapy initiation in older women is NOT the same as initiation in younger women! In this session, we will take a critical look at the original WHI data from 2002 and the complete data and reanalysis released in 2007. We will separate fear from reality! Data for this episode comes from the WHI original trial, NAMS analysis, WHO data, as well as the international menopause society.
