A new study by Mayo Clinic, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings>>>, reveals that hormone therapy use among women in the United States>>> remains low, despite its effectiveness in treating menopause symptoms. The study, co-authored by Stephanie Faubion>>>, found that use declined from 4.4% in 2007 to 1.7% in 2023.
