Women Using HRT at Lower Risk of Dementia, Study Suggests Research on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has yielded a significant finding: postmenopausal women who use HRT may be 10% less likely to develop dementia.
This risk reduction is even more pronounced for those who have undergone surgical menopause, with a 26% decrease in dementia risk.
The study, which tracked over 180,000 women in the UK, suggests that HRT may play a role in long term cognitive health.
