For the study, which was presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress in Milan, Italy, the researchers had taken into consideration 3,713 women for approximately 20 years from the early 1990s to 2010.
Women who took HRT, where these hormones are prescribed for two or more years lost an average of 46 ml less of lung volume compared with women who never took HRT.
