US EditionMajor Study Finds Hormone Therapy Doesn’t Increase Dementia Risk
A systematic review of over 1 million participants found no link between menopause hormone therapy and dementia risk, supporting current clinical guidance, WHO said.
- A WHO-commissioned review published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity by University College London researchers found no significant link between menopause hormone therapy and dementia risk.
- Amid conflicting studies and past warnings, researchers reviewed menopause hormone therapy as the FDA removed black box warnings, addressing uncertainty for clinicians and women considering HRT.
- The researchers pooled evidence from one randomized controlled trial and nine observational studies totalling 1,016,055 participants, including patients with mild cognitive impairment, women with early menopause and premature ovarian insufficiency.
- The review reinforces current clinical guidance that clinicians and prescribers should base HRT prescriptions on benefits and risks, not dementia prevention, while calling for more research on women from ethnic minority backgrounds or those with early menopause or mild cognitive impairment .
- The review highlights tensions between recent policy moves and available data as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration suggested menopause hormone therapy might reduce Alzheimer's risk, yet scarce randomized controlled trials and low-certainty evidence leave this claim unsupported.
