To assess the overall safety and potential endometrial stimulation of soy isoflavone tablets consumed (3-year) by postmenopausal women. To determine the endometrial thickness response-to-treatment among compliant women, taking into account hormone concentrations and other hypothesized modifying factors. We randomized healthy postmenopausal women (45.8–65.0 years) to placebo control or two doses (80 or 120 mg/day) of soy isoflavones at two sites. We used intent-to-treat (N=224) and compliant (>95%; N=208) analyses to assess circulating hormone concentrations, adverse events, and endometrial thickness (via transvaginal ultrasound). Median values for endometrial thickness (mm) declined from baseline through 36 mo. Nonparametric ANOVA for treatment differences among groups showed no differences in absolute (or percentage change) endometrial thickness at any time point (Chi-Square p-values ranged from 0.12–0.69), nor in circulating hormones at any time point. A greater number of adverse events for the genitourinary system (p=0.005) was noted in the 80 compared to 120 mg/day group, whereas other systems showed no treatment effects. The model predicting the endometrial thickness response-(using natural logarithm)-to-treatment with compliant women across time points was significant (p<0.0001), indicating that estrogen exposure (p=0.0013), plasma 17 β-estradiol (p=0.0086), and alcohol intake (p=0.023) contributed significantly to the response. Neither the 80 (p=0.57) nor 120 (p=0.43) mg/day dose exerted an effect on endometrial thickness across time. Our RCT verified the long-term overall safety of consuming soy isoflavone tablets by postmenopausal women who displayed excellent compliance. We found no evidence of a treatment effect on endometrial thickness, adverse events, or circulating hormone concentrations, most notably thyroid function, during a three year period.
