The Women's Health Initiative Memory Study reported that older women using conjugated equine estrogens hormone therapy (HT) with or without medroxyprogesterone acetate were at increased risk for probable dementia and smaller brain volumes. These adverse effects were greatest among women who had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at baseline or who developed the disease during follow-up. This review summarizes existing literature from randomized trials, observational studies, and preclinical studies to provide a fundamental understanding of the effects of the interaction between T2DM and HT on cognitive and metabolic health changes in brain aging.
妇女健康倡议记忆研究报告称,使用结合型马雌激素激素治疗(HT)的老年女性,无论是否同时使用醋酸甲羟孕酮,其患可能的痴呆症和脑体积缩小的风险增加。这些不利影响在基线时患有 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)或在随访期间发生该疾病的女性中最大。这篇综述总结了来自随机试验、观察性研究和临床前研究的现有文献,以提供对 T2DM 和 HT 之间相互作用对大脑衰老的认知和代谢健康变化影响的基本理解。
