38: Menopausal Hormone Therapy and Bone Density
from Listen, Learn, Adapt · host Anthony Novello
This episode does a deep dive into a two-year, randomized-controlled trial, investigating the effect of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) on bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. The study compared different dosages of conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) combined with either micronized progesterone (MP) or dydrogesterone (DHG) across three groups. Researchers measured changes in lumbar and hip BMD, along with bone metabolism biomarkers like ALP, Ca, P, Cr, and Ca/Cr, to evaluate treatment effectiveness and safety. Zuo H, Sun A, Gao L, et al.
