  • Title: Estrogen replacement therapy at menopause. How benefits outweigh risks.
    Author: Griffing GT, Allen SH.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1994 Oct; 96(5):131-40. PubMed ID: 7937412.
    Abstract:
    Bone loss and cardiovascular disease are the most important complications of menopause. Because estrogen has been shown to prevent bone loss and also reduce fracture rates in menopausal women, the authors recommend early replacement therapy. They also examine evidence that estrogen replacement may offer these women protection from cardiovascular disease and discuss the risks of estrogen-related endometrial and breast cancer.
