Women with POI should be informed that POI without HT is associated with reduced life expectancy, largely due to cardiovascular disease. |
|
HT is recommended for women with POI until the usual age of menopause for primary prevention to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality, whether there are estrogen deficiency symptoms or not. |
|
The guideline group recommends that women with POI should be encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle (including avoiding smoking, having a healthy diet and regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight range) to reduce cardiovascular risk. | GPP |
