Abstract

The present status of estrogen replacement therapy suggests that its benefits far outweigh the risks; it is hoped that the incapacity related to fractures, coronary artery disease, and urinary incontinence may be reduced or prevented. Estrogen replacement therapy should provide for a healthier elderly population, increase the number who can remain in their homes, and therefore reduce the number that require institutionalization.
