But however well they are doing, estrogen replacement will improve their cholesterol levels and be good for their hearts and their bones.
Estrogen replacement can help prevent heart disease. After menopause, the risk of heart disease for women increases dramatically. Women who are premenopausal have a much lower incidence of heart attacks than men.

After menopause, if they don’t go on hormone replacement, women begin to catch up pretty quickly. If they do go on hormone replacement, they retain that advantage. It’s no small benefit. It is estimated that 500,000 women a year die from coronary artery disease. In the recent Nurses Health Study of 120,000 women, which took place over a ten year period, researchers found that women who took estrogen after menopause had about half the incidence of fatal heart attacks as the control group. The reason? Estrogen replacement seemed to improve a woman’s ratio of “good” cholesterol (HDL) to bad cholesterol (LDL). Women who took combination therapy, which included progestin as well, reduced their risk by 61 percent.
