WHI Study Data Confirm Short-Term Heart Disease Risks of Combination Hormone Therapy for Postmenopausal Women, February 15, 2010 News Release - National Institutes of Health (NIH)



Note: This is a re-analysis of the original study, however, between the time of the original publication and now, sub-analyses have been conducted. There continues to be wide debates on these issues.

"The NHLBI collaborates on the WHI with the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, the National Institute on Aging, and the Office of Research on Women’s Health, all parts of the NIH. Wyeth-Ayerst Research provided the medication and placebo for the hormone study."
