[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of old, bad science on here.  The connection to cancer has been found when people start HRT long after menopause, like 5 to 10 years later.  If you start in peri, or just after your last period, it seems to have significant protective effects against dementia, and that is why I am taking it.  If you feel that you have brain fog, aphasia, less short term recall, etc. that’s for a reason...your brain is significantly altered without estrogen, and studies seem to show that a rapid decline from estrogen to no estrogen can actually cause irreversible damage.  There’s a reason rates of Alzheimer’s are so much higher among women, but most science in general focuses in men, not in the unique role that hormones play in a woman’s body.[/quote]

And there is still evidence of cancer.  So, no. [/quote]

There is also evidence that not getting enough sleep increases the risk of Alzheimer's so if menopause is making it harder for you to sleep, that has its own risks (beyond just alzheimer's).  [/quote]

Do they account for age? A big factor in developing Alzheimer's is age, and women live a lot longer than men on average, so it would make sense that more women than men develop it.[/quote]
