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.
