Women using hormone replacement therapy at lower risk of dementia. Read Full Article #HormoneTherapy #DementiaRisk #WomenHealth
🧠 A major UK study of over 180,000 postmenopausal women found HRT users were 10% less likely to develop any dementia and 16% less likely to get Alzheimer's.
👩⚕️ Women who experienced surgical menopause and used HRT saw the greatest reduction, with a 26% lower risk of developing any type of dementia.

📈 The study, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, suggests HRT may play a role in long-term cognitive health, but more research is needed to prove a direct cause.
