Abstract
Changes occurring at menopause can be mitigated by prescribing menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Recent publications from the CoLaus/OsteoLaus cohorts provide important insights into the effects of HRT and after its discontinuation on bone and body composition. HRT has a beneficial effect on bone mineral density, bone microarchitecture and fracture prevention. The benefits persist after treatment discontinuation, but not beyond 2 to 5 years. The effect of HRT on body composition is more controversial. HRT reduces the accumulation of fat mass, mainly abdominal and visceral fat mass. This is important from the perspective of diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevention. However, the benefits seem to disappear immediately after discontinuation.
