Does hormone replacement therapy cause dementia or cognitive impairment in postmenopausal women?
This issue is another example of media distortion. A recent article reported that these conditions doubled with hormone use. The women in the study were using orally administered hormones and started taking the hormones after age 65, much too late to prevent cerebral arterial changes. Another study showed a 50% protection for women who started taking hormones between ages 45 and 60, and continued for ten years.
