 The Jean Hailes Foundation for Women's Health provides a unique response to the needs of women through excellence in research, community and professional education and clinical care. We translate the latest research findings into practical health and lifestyle approaches for women and their health professionals.
Established in Victoria in 1992, we are now regarded throughout Australia as a leader in women's healthcare. Our primary focus is the health and wellbeing of the 5 million Australian women aged 35+ years who represent 25% of our population. We adopt a three-fold approach to health and wellbeing: the integration of education for the community and for healthcare professionals, with clinical practice and focused research. |

2008 - Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and breast cancer study – recent Australian research |
Comments from researchers at the Jean Hailes Foundation for Women's Health
Introduction
The Foundation strongly advocates that women and health professionals take a balanced, evidence-based and informed approach to health. All risks and benefits should be taken into perspective when considering the use of HRT for menopausal symptom relief.
For example, having more than two standard drinks per day, being overweight or obese, having your first child over the age of 35 or going into menopause at a later age are higher risk factors for breast cancer than taking HRT. |
