Oestrogen only users who had never smoked and those who had had some form of allergy before their asthma diagnosis were at greatest risk of developing asthma- 80% & 86% higher, respectively.
A small increased risk for asthma was also seen in women using combined oestrogen and progesterone HRT who were either non-smokers or who had had some form of allergic reaction in the past.
They researchers said that while their findings point to an increased risk of asthma, this must be judged in "the light of all the other health effects of HRT use, including its beneficial effect on the quality of life of menopausal women."
