Completed
Conditions
Dementia
Registration Number
NCT01124773
Lead Sponsor
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Brief Summary

WHIMS-Y provides valuable information on the long-term effects on risk of cognitive impairment of hormone therapy in a subset of WHI participants in the WHI Hormone Trials. Following cessation of study-prescribed HT cognitive function and impairment were assessed.

Detailed Description

The Women's Health Initiative Memory Study of Younger Women (WHIMS-Y) is proposed to assess the long-term impact of random assignment to postmenopausal hormone therapy (equine estrogen alone or in combination with medroxyprogesterone versus placebo) among women who were aged 50-54 at the time of randomization into the WHI hormone trials. Secondary objectives relate to the consistency of any treatment effects across unopposed or opposed therapy and whether there exists evidence of graded relationships between cognitive effects and age of administration, years from menopause, and baseline risk factors for cognitive impairment.
