I just listened to a podcast by Dr Kelly Casperson and Dr Corinne Menn on a recent paper titled, “Is it time to revisit the recommendations for initiation of menopausal hormone therapy?”
Written by Sasha Taylor, MBBSa ∙ Prof Susan R Davis

The data was very favorable for us boomers past the 10 year mark and over 60 years old.

Summary
Findings from the Women's Health Initiative studies led to menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) guidelines generally recommending the initiation of MHT be limited to women within 10 years of their menopause or before the age of 60 years. This recommendation has led to women who experience troublesome menopausal symptoms and who have not commenced MHT within these limits often being denied this type of therapy. Similarly, the majority of women who might benefit from the protective effects of MHT against bone loss and fracture are not offered this treatment option if they do not fit with these criteria. Based on review of the evidence that led to the conditional initiation of MHT, and subsequent studies, we propose that the recommendations regarding the initiation of MHT need to change to be more inclusive of women outside these chronological limits.
