 HRT: It's every bit as dangerous as we’ve been told, especially if you're older 
 
by What Doctors Don't Tell You - 8/20/2007
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is every bit as dangerous as studies from a few years back suggested, a new study has just confirmed.  But it’s the older woman who is at greatest risk.

It will dramatically increase the risks of heart disease and thrombosis in women who start the therapy many years after the menopause.

Women who were aged 62 years or so when they started HRT treatment were 22 times more likely to suffer a thromboembolism and seven times more likely to have a heart disease than a woman who was 50 years or so when she started the therapy.

The findings, based on a study of 5,692 women who were taking HRT, are very much in line with the Women’s Health Initiative study that first raised the alarm about HRT in 2002.  But they add more definition to the health risks.
