On page one in The North American Menopause Society Releases Its 2022 Hormone Therapy Position Statement, published 07 July 2022, the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) explain:

- “Risk stratification by age and time since menopause is recommended.
- The benefits of hormone therapy outweigh the risks for most healthy symptomatic women who are aged younger than 60 years and within 10 years of menopause onset.
- Transdermal routes of administration and lower doses of hormone therapy may decrease risk of venous thromboembolism and stroke”.3
Older Than 60 Years
What is the association between HT, age and time since menopause, for women older than 60 years?
In Menopause Management Options: Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) – What Are the Risks of MHT? the JH note:
Bone Health
Does HT have an effective role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis?
On page two in the Joint Position Statement By the British Menopause Society, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and Society for Endocrinology on Best Practice Recommendations for the Care of Women Experiencing the Menopause, first published online 10 June 2022, one of the recommendations is:
- “In addition, HRT has been shown to have an effective role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates are considered as first-line options for most patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis due to their broad spectrum of anti-fracture efficacy. HRT may be considered as an additional alternative option, particularly in younger postmenopausal women with menopausal symptoms who are at increased risk of fractures”.5
Heart Health
Does HT have an effective role for health health?
On page one in Deciding About Hormone Therapy Use: Potential Risks the NAMS note:
Chronic Disease Prevention

In Starting and Stopping Hormone Therapy the European Menopause and Andropause Society explain:
On page one in The North American Menopause Society Releases Its 2022 Hormone Therapy Position Statement the NAMS note:
- “Hormone therapy does not need to be routinely discontinued in women aged older than 60 or 65 years and can be considered for continuation beyond age 65 for persistent VMS, quality-of-life issues, or prevention of osteoporosis after appropriate evaluation and counseling of benefits and risks”.10
Health Care Provider
What if I am postmenopausal and choose to use HT?
If you are postmenopausal and choose to use HT, it may be in your best interest to also choose to talk to your health care provider about this.
