Hormone Therapy For Menopause Linked To Alzheimer's Hallmark

The article from MSN discusses a study linking hormone therapy for menopause with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found that women who used hormone therapy, particularly estrogen-progestin therapy, exhibited higher levels of tau protein tangles in their brains, a hallmark of Alzheimer's. This study, published in the journal "Neurology," involved analyzing brain tissue from deceased women and comparing those who had used hormone therapy with those who had not. The findings suggest that hormone therapy might contribute to the buildup of tau proteins, which are associated with cognitive decline. However, the study also notes that the relationship between hormone therapy and Alzheimer's is complex, with factors like the timing, duration, and type of hormone therapy potentially influencing outcomes. The article emphasizes the need for further research to understand these connections better and advises women to discuss the risks and benefits of hormone therapy with their healthcare providers.
