British Study Finds HRT Used to Treat Menopause Does not Increase the Risk of Dementia
The study was conducted in the UK and published in the BMJ. The researchers concluded that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not seem to increase the risk of developing dementia.
This was a very large study. Using UK medical records, the researchers involved in the new study identified 118,501 women age 55 and over who were diagnosed with dementia between 1998 and 2020.
A control group consisted of 497,416 women matched by age and by the same medical practice who had no records for dementia.
Of the women with a dementia diagnosis, they found that 16,291 — 14% — had used HRT. The same percentage of women in the control group, or 68,726 of them, also used the treatment.
While it has been suggested that women who use hormone replacement have a higher risk of dementia, the recent large-scale trial showed no significant difference between those with and without hormones.
According to the study, overall, there were no increased risks of developing dementia associated with menopausal hormone therapy “regardless of hormone type, application, dose, or duration of treatment.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
Every day we are learning more about the truth and exploding many of the myths and misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy. It is always good news when we find out more about the safety and effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy to treat menopause.
If you want your HRT experience to go as smoothly and without a few unexpected side effects or risks, then make sure that bioidentical hormones are an option! Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has become the preferred treatment for men and women suffering from age-related hormone decline symptoms.
Bioidentical hormones are safer and more effective than synthetic hormones, which is why they’re better for your health. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can offer significant relief from bothersome symptoms that happen just before, during, and after menopause; BHRT also has a low risk of side effects like those experienced with traditional hormone replacement.

The only way to know if you qualify for bioidentical hormone therapy is through a series of specific diagnostic tests.
