Is there an upper age limit for taking HRT?
A. No. HRT is one of the best options for women at risk of osteoporosis and can be started in women of any age who are fully informed of the risks and benefits. In fact, the lower the bone density, the greater the potential gain after HRT is started. In fact, there is an argument for starting HRT nearer to the time of likely fractures, the late 60s and 70s, to gain the most benefit and minimise the risks of long term treatment.
