Abstract
In our observational study of middle-aged and older, non-diabetic postmenopausal women, a current or past use of MHT was independently associated with a greater risk of incident diabetes. ET and PET are associated with similar risks of incident diabetes in postmenopausal women. The association of MHT use with incident diabetes is the same irrespective of body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference.
