Menopausal hormone therapy causes weight gain.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Menopausal hormone therapy causes weight gain?

No. Peer-reviewed reviews and a clinical article state that the common belief that hormone replacement therapy causes weight gain is not supported by available evidence, with some regimens possibly attenuating fat accumulation; weight gain around menopause is attributed to the menopausal transition itself rather than to the therapy.
