Effect of different preparations of hormone therapy on lipid and glucose metabolism, coagulation factors, and bone mineral density in overweight and obese postmenopausal women

Body mass index, HDL, fibrinogen levels and L1-L4 BMD were independent factors in the prediction of HT use. Treatment with tibolone, E2/NETA, and CEE/MPA resulted in minimal improvement in lumbar spine BMD but had a beneficial effect on the procoagulation system, with minimal changes in glucose metabolism after 6 months of therapy.
