Hormone therapy (HT) plays a significant role in women’s health, especially during menopause. Recent studies offer new insights into how hormone therapy might affect brain health, making it crucial to stay informed if you’re considering HT.
What Recent Research Tells Us
Recent research has produced mixed results about hormone therapy’s impact on cognitive health:
- A study in The BMJ suggested a possible link between menopausal hormone therapy and a higher risk of dementia, even for women who began treatment before age 55.
- Other research, like the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS), found no negative effects on memory and thinking skills when hormone therapy was started early in menopause.
- A meta-analysis of 50 studies indicated that younger women on estrogen-only therapy were about one-third less likely to develop dementia than those not on hormone therapy.
These varying results show that a personalized approach to hormone therapy is essential.
What Affects Cognitive Outcomes?
Several factors can influence how hormone therapy impacts cognitive health:
- Timing: Starting HT closer to menopause may be more beneficial.
- Duration: The length of hormone therapy can affect outcomes.
- Type of Therapy: Different hormone formulations and methods, such as bio-identical hormones, may have different effects.
- Personal Health: Genetics, overall health, and lifestyle are important considerations.
