Cartoon – Hormone Therapy and Dementia

By Shaheen E Lakhan, MD, PhD, MEd, MS | 12 Comments | Share | Print | Email | Tweet | Like | 1+
Dementia and Hormone Therapy

I get to tolerate menopausal symptoms or become demented while on hormone replacement therapy. So, spare me your complaining about hair loss.

A new study published in the Annals of Neurology finds that hormone therapy may be beneficial against dementia for women in midlife (mean age, 48.7 years), but an increased risk for those taking hormone therapy in later life (mean age, 76 years).

    Quite a clever cartoon! I’ll show this to my wife… who, BTW, is part of the midlife group.
