Hip fracture without hormones

Recent study looking at over 80,000 women who stopped taking post menopausal hormone replacent therapy had an increased risk for hip fracture.

Dr. B:
What did we expect? We knew that taking hormones reduced hip fractures so it would be a no-brainer that if we stop protecting then we start producing more fractures, that is. Starting or stopping postmenopausal hormones should not be taken lightly!
