Objective.-To compare the effect of continuous norethindrone acetate (NA)-ethinyl estradiol (EE(2)) combinations with matching unopposed EE(2) or placebo.Design.-A 2-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial.Setting.-Outpatients at 65 centers.Patients.-Asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic women aged 40 years or older who had undergone the onset of spontaneous menopause within the last 5 years and who had an intact uterus.Interventions.-Patients were equally randomized to placebo or 1 of 8 treatment groups: 0.2 mg of NA and 1 mu g of EE(2); 0.5 mg of NA and 2.5 mu g of EE(2); 1 mg of NA and 5 mu g of EE(2); 1 mg of NA and 10 mu g of EE(2); 1 mu g of EE(2); 2.5 mu g of EE(2); 5 mu g of EE(2); or 10 mu g of EE(2).Primary Outcome Measures.-Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by quantitative computed tomography, serum lipids, and endometrial effects as assessed by rate of hyperplasia and proliferative status.Results.-Twelve hundred sixty-five patients entered the study, Bone mineral density increased significantly from baseline (P
