Abstract
INFORMAL ESTIMATES of the percentage of women who lose bone while taking postmenopausal hormone therapy range from 10% to 30%, but formal evidence for these appraisals is lacking. If true, a high frequency of bone loss despite treatment would have important implications for clinical practice.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
