The National Institutes of Health: Women's Health Initiative (WHI)
Established in 1991, this 15-year clinical study focuses on the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), diet, and calcium and vitamin D supplements on heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. This Web site provides an overview on the program, plus updates and mid-study observations. It includes discussions of the decisions to stop early the estrogen-plus-progestin and estrogen-alone postmenopausal hormone therapy trials.
