Transdermal Beats Oral Estrogen for CVD Safety of Hormone Therapy

Dec 10, 2024 | mdedge.com | JoAnn E. Manson |Joann Manson

I’d like to talk with you about a recent report in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) on different forms of contemporary menopausal hormone therapy and risks for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This is a very large-scale and comprehensive study from Sweden that looked at more than 900,000 women, including more than 77,000 users of hormone therapy.
Longevidad humana: ¿puede prolongarse aún más?

Dec 4, 2024 | espanol.medscape.com | JoAnn E. Manson |Joann Manson

Hola. Soy la Dra. JoAnn Manson, catedrática de Medicina de la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard y del Brigham and Women's Hospital. Me gustaría hablarles de un interesante artículo publicado en la revista Nature Aging que aborda si es factible esperar que los grandes avances en la esperanza de vida observados en el siglo XX continúen en el actual.[1] Como todos sabemos, en las décadas de 1900 se produjeron mejoras espectaculares en la esperanza de vida.
Population Health: The Power of Prevention

Nov 18, 2024 | nam.edu | Talia Lewis |JoAnn E. Manson |Joann Manson |Shari S. Bassuk

Modifiable lifestyle factors are profoundly powerful in maximizing health span and lifespan. Numerous long-term epidemiologic studies provide compelling evidence that self-care behaviors, such as being physically active, eating a nutritious diet, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, avoiding excessive alcohol intake, and getting sufficient sleep, are critically important for maintaining cardiometabolic health (e.g., favorable lipid, glucose, and blood pressure levels).
Only About 5% of US Women Now Use Menopausal Hormone Therapy

Nov 8, 2024 | jamanetwork.com | Samantha Anderer |Tara Iyer |JoAnn E. Manson |Joann Manson |Jan L. Shifren

Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is broadly considered the most effective treatment for common symptoms of menopause, but its estimated use among postmenopausal women declined from about 27% to about 5% from 1999 to March 2020. In a study published in JAMA Health Forum, researchers used prescription medication data collected from more than 13 000 postmenopausal women in the US who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Ultraprocessed Foods and CVD: Myths vs Facts

Oct 17, 2024 | mdedge.com | JoAnn E. Manson |Joann Manson

I’d like to talk with you about ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) and risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and try to separate some of the facts from the myths. I’d like to discuss a recent report in The Lancet Regional Health that looks at this topic comprehensively and in detail. This report includes three large-scale prospective cohort studies of US female and male health professionals, more than 200,000 participants in total.
Proteomic signatures of healthy dietary patterns are associated with lower risks of major chronic diseases and mortality - Nature Food

Sep 27, 2024 | nature.com | An Pan |JoAnn E. Manson |Joann Manson

AbstractHealthy dietary patterns have been linked to a decreased risk of chronic diseases. However, it remains uncertain whether proteomic signatures can reflect proteome response to healthy diet patterns, and whether these proteomic signatures are associated with health outcomes. Using data from the UK Biobank including Olink plasma proteins, we identified substantial proteomic variation in relation to adherence to eight healthy dietary patterns.
Recent Trends in Menopausal Hormone Therapy Use in the US

Sep 27, 2024 | jamanetwork.com | Tara Iyer |JoAnn E. Manson |Joann Manson |Midlife Clinic

Although menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is the most effective treatment for the relief of hallmark menopausal symptoms, such as vasomotor symptoms and the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, it is vastly underused.1 In this issue of JAMA Health Forum, Yang and Toriola2 provide compelling insights into temporal trends in MHT use in the US in recent decades, with important implications for clinical practice and women’s health.
Hot Flashes: Do They Predict CVD and Dementia?

Sep 17, 2024 | mdedge.com | JoAnn E. Manson |Joann Manson

This transcript has been edited for clarity. I’d like to talk about a recent report in the journal Menopause linking menopausal symptoms to increased risk for cognitive impairment. I’d also like to discuss some of the recent studies that have addressed whether hot flashes are linked to increased risk for heart disease and other forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
