Conference to be Held on Study Results, Ongoing Extension Study, and Future Research of the Women's Health Initiative - The Largest Study of Older Women's Health

Office of the Director - February 22, 2006

Many of the nation's leading scientists and experts on women's health will join Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study participants February 28 -- March 1, 2006 at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus in Bethesda, MD to celebrate the legacy and probe the findings and future directions of the WHI. The WHI is the largest and most comprehensive study of postmenopausal women's health ever conducted in the United States. From revealing the effects of a low-fat diet and calcium/vitamin D supplements to the dangers of hormone replacement therapy, the study has helped to shape and advance the health care of women for more than a decade.
