Its findings changed medical practice and helped shape clinical guidelines, preventing tens of thousands of cases of cardiovascular disease and breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/science\/womens-health-initiative-whi\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">study, which began in the 1990s<\/a> when few women were included in clinical research, enrolled over 160,000 participants across the nation. It continues to follow some 42,000 women, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/38691368\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">tracking data on cardiovascular disease and aging,<\/a> as well as frailty, vision loss and mental health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Researchers have hoped to use the findings to learn more about how to maintain mobility and cognitive function and slow memory loss, detect cancer earlier and predict the risks of other diseases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Department of Health and Human Services is terminating contracts for the W.H.I.\u2019s regional centers in September. The clinical coordinating center, based at Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle, will be funded through at least January 2026. The budget for 2025 is $9.3 million. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Whether the center will continue to receive support next year remains uncertain. Even if funding continues, the coordinating office relies on the regional centers to gather data from participants, and so its functions will be limited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">H.H.S. did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Recently, a spokeswoman said cuts to such funding \u201care designed to ensure that every dollar is used more efficiently while continuing to focus on our core mission of improving public health and services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Senator Patty Murray, Democrat of Washington, said shutting down the trial was \u201ca devastating loss for women\u2019s health research.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Not only did the initiative lead to major advancements in women\u2019s health, \u201cit has paved the way for a generation of researchers focused on women\u2019s health \u2014 which has long been overlooked and underfunded,\u201d Ms. Murray said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Dr. Stella Dantas, called the shutdown of the trial \u201cshortsighted and tragic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is disheartening to see studies that allow us to better support, care for, and increase quality of life for our patients now and in the future terminated,\u201d Dr. Dantas said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The W.H.I. included a number of randomized controlled trials and has contributed to more than 2,000 research papers. But it is probably best known for a study of hormone replacement therapy that was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2002\/07\/09\/us\/study-is-halted-over-rise-seen-in-cancer-risk.html\" title=\"\">abruptly halted in 2002<\/a>, after investigators found that older women who took a combination of estrogen and progestin experienced a small but significant increase in the risk of breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Until then, hormone replacement therapy was widely believed to protect women from cardiovascular disease. But the trial found that even though the hormone combination reduced colorectal cancer and hip fractures, it put women at higher risk for heart attacks, strokes and blood clots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. JoAnn Manson, one of the long-term principal investigators of the study and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, called the funding cuts \u201cheartbreaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The decision also was perplexing, she added, given statements by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation\u2019s health secretary, about the importance of reducing chronic disease in America.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere is no better example of the scientific impact of research on chronic disease prevention than the W.H.I.,\u201d Dr. Manson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSo the slashing of funding of a trial that has contributed enormously to our knowledge of the prevention of chronic disease and healthy aging and extending the healthy span \u2014 I mean, it is really puzzling and shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The lessons learned from <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24798522\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the hormone study have resulted in enormous savings<\/a> in health care costs, researchers have found \u2014 about $35 billion between 2003 and 2012, according to one study, because of the number of cancer and cardiovascular disease cases that had been averted. For every dollar spent on the W.H.I., $140 was saved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One randomized trial carried out by the W.H.I. looked at the impact of a low-fat diet, high in fruits and vegetables. Though researchers initially found a reduction only in ovarian cancer, long-term follow-up showed that the diet also reduced deaths from breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another study of calcium and vitamin D found that supplements provided a modest benefit for preserving bone mass and preventing hip fractures in older women, but did not prevent other fractures or colorectal cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The findings influenced medical guidelines, which currently do not recommend that all women routinely take the supplements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The participants in the initiative are now aged 78 to 108, and some scientists conceded that an argument could be made for winding down the trial. But careful planning is typically given to closing out such a large and wide-ranging study.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The abrupt decision to shut down the W.H.I. \u2014 which was made without consulting the researchers \u2014 was highly unusual, they said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s still so much we need to learn,\u201d said Garnet Anderson, senior vice president and director of the public health science division at Fred Hutch Cancer Center and a principal investigator of the initiative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNo one has ever studied 13,000 women over the age of 90 to know: What are their health needs? How to live such a long and health life?\u201d she said. \u201cWe&#8217;d love to know the secrets of success for healthy aging.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One reason that the study was begun in the 1990s was that there was a dearth of information and research on women\u2019s health, and little evidence on which to base clinical recommendations, said Marian Neuhouser, who heads the cancer prevention program at Fred Hutch Cancer Center and is chair of the W.H.I. steering committee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWomen are half the population,\u201d Dr. Neuhouser said, \u201cbut they had not been included in research. It had mostly been men, and the results were so-called extrapolated to women.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
