Does anyone have a list of recent studies that actually prove women over 65 or 70 should not START bioidentical hormones due to increased risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia, etc.? I keep reading that some doctors are ok with prescribing for a 74 year old like me, and some doctors are totally against it. I would really like to see the evidence!

@janieben I don't know if you read this study from Medscape on HRT for women over 65 I originally posted last year: https://www.medscape.com/s/viewarticle/hormone-therapy-after-65-good-option-most-women-2024a10007b2
@janieben I just started at age 68. The gyn did a cardiac risk. My husband’s cardiologist said he would recommend calcium scoring, which I did, and it was zero. He also recommended K2, which I am already on. My internist said he has no issue with increasing the patch dosage (it is a very lose dose, .025) as long as I continue to the my routine screenings and self exam. No history of any cancer in my family, and parents and grandparents lived into their 90’s. I would love to see research on women beginning BHRT after age 65. Most of research I see is about continuing past 65.
