Dr. Enrique Jacome

According to early results of a highly anticipated study that were presented at a meeting in the US on Wednesday, it appears that estrogen-progesterone hormone replacement therapy, if started soon after menopause, not only lessens many symptoms but also improves mood and some cardiovascular risk factors. 

While the findings are still preliminary and have yet to be submitted for peer review before publication in a journal, the researchers presented the early results of their HRT study at the North American Menopause Society's Annual Meeting, which is taking place in Orlando, Florida from Oct 3-6, 2012.

The study was designed and funded by the Kronos Longevity Research Institute to answer questions raised by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), and is called KEEPS (short for Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study).
