Why does this matter? During and after menopause, declining estrogen can accelerate bone loss and increase the risk of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fractures. Bone density is something we want to think about before osteoporosis develops, not only after.
Hormone therapy can be one component of a comprehensive bone-health strategy for appropriately selected menopausal women. Nutrition, adequate vitamin D and calcium, resistance and weight-bearing exercise, lifestyle factors, and individualized medical management all matter too.
The goal isn't just treating symptoms of menopause.
