Women Starting Early Menopausal Hormone Therapy Have Lower Risk for Osteoporosis, Fracture .
Early initiation of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) may reduce the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures in women, according to recent clinical findings. Women who began hormone therapy closer to the onset of menopause demonstrated lower fracture risk compared with those who initiated treatment later or did not receive therapy.

These results suggest that timely initiation of hormone therapy may help preserve bone strength and reduce fracture risk in appropriately selected patients. The findings highlight the importance of individualized risk assessment when considering strategies to prevent osteoporosis-related fractures.
