The WHI Study Made Headlines — But Context Matters.
In 2002, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) linked hormone therapy to health risks. What many don’t know:
• Average participant age was 63
• Many had existing risk factors
• Older hormone formulations were used
• Risk varies based on age and timing
Updated research shows starting therapy closer to menopause has a different risk profile.
Hormones aren’t one-size-fits-all. They require individualized evaluation and monitoring.
