I was reading in a recent Nursing journal that the chances of getting 
Alzheimer's disease after meopause are almost three times lower for patients 
who are taking estrogen, according to researchers who studied 1124 elderly 
women.
Overall, 156 of these women started taking estrogen at the onset of meopause. 
During follow-up, whch ranged from 1 to 5 years, only nine estrogen-users 
developed Alzheimer's.  Amoung the 968 participants who did not take 
estrogen, 158 were diagnosed with the disease.
