WHIMS Study

Meaning

The Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS) was a pivotal ancillary clinical trial within the Women’s Health Initiative. It investigated menopausal hormone therapy’s effects, specifically conjugated equine estrogens alone or combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate, on cognitive function and probable dementia incidence in postmenopausal women aged 65 and older. It yielded crucial evidence on neurological implications.
