Scientists found those who had used hormone replacement therapy were 10% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia
Hormone replacement therapy may reduce the risk of dementia, a study has found.
Scientists tracked more than 180,000 postmenopausal women in the UK in the largest study of its kind. They found that those who had used HRT were 10% less likely to develop any type of dementia and 16% less likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the most common form, compared with those who had never used it.
