This month we will explore the long-term findings from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), one of the largest and most influential studies ever conducted on postmenopausal women’s health.

What impact do menopausal hormone therapy, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and low-fat dietary interventions actually have on long-term health outcomes? How have these recommendations shaped clinical practice over the last several decades?

The Women’s Health Initiative investigators explore these questions through the follow-up of more than 161,000 postmenopausal women across multiple clinical trials and observational studies.
