Calcium plus vitamin D supplementation and risk of colorectal cancer

Article Abstract:

Randomized-trial evidence that calcium with vitamin D supplementation is beneficial in the primary prevention of colorectal cancer is examined. Daily supplementation of calcium with vitamin D for seven years had no effect on the incidence of colorectal cancer among postmenopausal women, and the long latency associated with the development of colorectal cancer, along with seven year duration of trial may have contributed to this null finding.

Estrogen plus progestin and the incidence of dementia and mild cognitive impairment in postmenopausal women: a randomized controlled trial

Article Abstract:

Postmenopausal women who take hormone replacement therapy may have twice the risk of developing dementia compared to other postmenopausal women, according to a study of 4,532 women. Hormone replacement therapy did not prevent mild intellectual deficits either. This study is part of the Women's Health Initiative study, which found that hormone replacement therapy may do more harm than good.

Conjugated equine estrogens and incidence of probable dementia and mild cognitive impairment in postmenopausal women

Article Abstract:

The effects of conjugated equine estrogens (CEE) alone and CEE plus medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on incidence of portable dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older women are determined. It was observed that estrogen therapy alone did not reduce dementia or MCI incidence and increased the risk.
