WEIGHING RISKS AND BENEFITS: A LOOK AT THE STATISTICS - BONE HEALTH First, we'll look at bone health. The following data comes from a report by Dr. Deborah Grady and colleagues, published in the December 1992 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine. This study pooled the results of all available major studies on hormone replacement therapy to date. While we know that these studies had limitations, there is value in looking at all of them to try to tease out some important trends. The report says that a 50-year-old Caucasian woman has a 15% chance, on average, of suffering a hip fracture—and that estrogen replacement therapy cuts that risk to 12.7% You may have heard it phrased a different way: that estrogen replacement cuts the risk of a hip fracture by one fourth or 25%. Isn't it interesting to look at the actual risk, as opposed to the percent decrease? Naturally, if you have many risk factors for osteoporosis the benefits of hormone replacement could be more impressive for you. Most experts say you need to start taking hormones within a couple of years of menopause in order to maximize the impact on your bone health, since about half of all bone loss occurs quickly (in the first seven years after menopause). However, one study did show a significant drop in the hip fracture rate among women over age 80 who were taking hormone replacement plus extra calcium and vitamin D. It remains controversial whether women who start hormone therapy many years after menopause will achieve significant bone benefits. *413/162/1* General health |
