Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS H9R0x99m. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. After randomized trials failed to support the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD), HRT use for postmenopausal women declined. Our analysis of 1999-2000 and 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Surveys (NHANES) shows that HRT use decreased 19% (from 27.6 to 8.4% ; P<. 001) among women with CVD versus 3% (from 19.8 to 16.8% ; P=68) among low-risk women, suggesting that most of the drop in HRT use may be among women prescribed HRT as an unproven treatment to prevent CVD.
