2003 MAY 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A University of Minnesota study characterized use of antiresorptive therapies (ARTs) among 338 women 65 years old or older.

Data were obtained from a 10-page survey that asked about the respondent's "health status, prescription drugs versus self-treatment strategies, demographic characteristics, and status and type of prescription drug and medical insurance."

* 110 (17.5%) reported using hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

* 59 (9.4%) were using fewer ARTs
