Hormone Therapy After 65?
Previously, many women have been hesitant to continue or start Hormone Therapy (HT) post-65 years of age due to concerns over increased risks of cancers and heart disease.
However, recent findings from a comprehensive study, which analyzed the health records of 10 million senior Medicare women from 2007 to 2020, reveal promising news about the safety of hormone therapy for women aged 65 and older.
These results align with The Menopause Society’s 2022 HT Position Statement, which suggests a more nuanced approach. It emphasizes that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all age limit for stopping HT and medications that are of the nonoral form, and of lower doses may be optimal for women over 65.
“For healthy women with persistent vasomotor symptoms, continuing HT beyond age 65 years is a reasonable option with appropriate counseling and regular assessment of risks and benefits. Moreover, the mitigation of risks through the choice of low dose, nonoral, and different estrogen and progestogen becomes increasingly important as women age.”
