Osteoporosis is characterised by low bone mass, leading to an increased risk of fragility fracture, particularly in the femoral neck, vertebrae and radius. These fractures constitute a major public health problem in the Western world; the estimated annual cost to the health services of hip fracture alone is over 500 million pounds in the United Kingdom.

Maturitas, 2001
In the past century there has been a gradual increase in life expectancy while the age of menopause remains unchanged. Thus, women now spend one third to one half of their life after the menopause. Currently a vast proportion of Western women is over 50, and the total number of postmenopausal women in the Western world is increasing.

The menopause and HRT. HRT and cognitive decline.
Best practice & research. Clinical endocrinology & metabolism, 2003It is biologically plausible that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) would be protective against cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD). We review observational and randomized trials to determine whether HRT might protect against cognitive decline in cognitively unimpaired and demented women.

Various forms of oestrogen have been available for use as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for approximately 50 years. However, there has been little change in the mode of administration until the last 10-15 years. Although the oral route has remained the mainstay of therapy, non-oral routes of administration have been developed.

HRT and cardiovascular disease
Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2009Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has profound effects on the cardiovascular system, with plausible biological mechanisms explaining both the benefits and harm. Benefits may result from oestrogen action on metabolic risk factors, such as lipids, glucose and insulin metabolism, as well as direct arterial effects, reducing atherogenesis.

Given the rapidly increasing number of women above 50 it is of pivotal importance to consider health issues related to gonadal hormone deficiency. The possibility of alleviating such symptoms by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) should be recognized by all physicians, not merely by gynaecologists.

There are now so many studies that have addressed the possible risk of breast cancer with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that a new one does not produce much of a reaction, even when it suggests an increased risk of cancer. However, the recent paper by Schairer and colleagues' has created some interest, particularly because it suggests that the risk

HRT and Cardiovascular Disease
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2003Abstract: Recent randomized controlled clinical trials failed to confirm a perceived beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease by hormone therapy. Given the huge amount of observational data, as well as experimental data both in humans and various animal species, there is reason to belive that female sex steroids, in particular estrogen, possess ...
