HRT and hip fractures

HRT and hip fractures Posted by Natalie P C.
Question 18: With respect to the long term risks and benefits of HRT

2. Use of HRT for 10 years from the age of 50 is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of hip fractures
True False
Natalie\'s answer: true Correct answer: false
The explanation given is that you need lifelong HRT to reduce the risk of hip fracture at 79.
As I understand it the WHI study was less that 10 years and it showed a decrease in hip fractures. HR 0.66 EPT and 0.61 E therapy alone. Why is this question false?
