TL;DR: Estrogen alone or in combination with a progestin improves lipoproteins and lowers fibrinogen levels without detectable effects on postchallenge insulin or blood pressure and in women with a uterus, CEE with cyclic MP has the most favorable effect on HDL-C and no excess risk of endometrial hyperplasia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogen plus progestin and the incidence of dementia and mild cognitive impairment in postmenopausal women: the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: Estrogen plus progestin therapy increased the risk for probable dementia in postmenopausal women aged 65 years or older and did not prevent mild cognitive impairment in these women, supporting the conclusion that the risks of estrogen plus progESTin outweigh the benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short forms to assess life quality and symptom distress for urinary incontinence in women: the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire and the Urogenital Distress Inventory. Continence Program for Women Research Group.
TL;DR: The short form versions of the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ) and the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI) may be more useful than the long form versions in many clinical and research applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The data suggest that exercise should be prescribed as part of the treatment for knee osteoarthritis, and modest improvements in measures of disability, physical performance, and pain from participating in either an aerobic or a resistance exercise program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugated equine estrogens and incidence of probable dementia and mild cognitive impairment in postmenopausal women: Women's Health Initiative Memory Study

TL;DR: Estrogen therapy alone did not reduce dementia or MCI incidence and increased the risk for both end points combined and use of hormone therapy to prevent dementia or cognitive decline in women 65 years of age or older is not recommended.
