So it doesn't imply that people didn't live well into old age. For those who prefer a risk-based approach to HRT, isn't it most often true that a woman considering HRT will have risk factor(s)? Simplistically, if she's thin, she's at risk for osteoporosis; if she's obese, she's at risk for heart disease.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
