Subject: RE: FEMALE BS: quit HRT yet?
Thanks for the link, Philippa.

Mark C. and others, re diet and exercise and osteoporosis, I heard a day or so ago, on NPR, I think, that Kaiser Permanente had done a large study on that topic, comparing HRT in combination with calcium, exercise, etd. to the exercise and dietary treatment along. It was said that they found for women with a strong family hx of osteoporosis, taking calcium and doing weight bearing exercise was not sufficient protection against osteoporosis if they were not on HRT.

Do you know anything about this study?
