outdated information. elevated risks are taken into consideration in tailoring specific therapy, but it’s looking like mht is a lot safer / more beneficial than previously thought.
i would add, there are more benefits to mht than preventing osteoporosis, namely - heart health, preventing dementia, and generally improving quality of life.
Possibly, I’m not up to date on the latest research, but if so it hasn’t made its way into the guidelines. The risks are significant based on my understanding so I would be surprised. There are selective estrogen modulators with lower risks but they aren’t that effective for osteoporosis.
The risk of cancer and clotting with hormone therapy outweighs the benefit of preventing osteoporosis, so it’s generally not used
