“The air we breathe is shaping our brains in later life.”

What Eef Hogervorst has said

  • “When I see articles about new studies which claim that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can improve memory and stave off dementia in women, my heart sinks. I think: 'Here we go again!' It's often presented as a new idea, something we are only just realising, but people have been researching this since the early 1950s. I've been looking at it for almost 40 years. It should work – everybody wants it to be true – but the truth is, the research still doesn't back it up.”

  • “In a review of national registry studies that I worked on, longer use of combined hormone therapy was associated with a small increase in Alzheimer's risk.”
