Zusammenfassung
Die Progesteronsubstitution im Alter stellt im Genitalbereich einen gewissen Karzinomschutz
dar. Auch extragenital werden immer mehr gesundheitsfördernde Wirkungen erkannt, die
vor allem das Nervensystem, kardiovaskuläre Endothelprotektion und den Knochen betreffen.
Damit rückt Progesteron als mögliche hormonelle und nebenwirkungsarme Präventionsmaßnahme
im Alter zunehmend in den Blickpunkt der Medizin.
