Women's Health Initiative Extension Study 2005-2010 (WHI ES 1)
Between 1993 and 1998, more than 161,000 women between 50 and 79 years of age were enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI). The WHI Extension Study 2005-2010 enrolled consenting participants from the original WHI study for an additional five years of follow-up, from 2005 to 2010. Annual updates on health outcomes are collected by mail from the 115,400 participants enrolled in the Extension Study. The WHI Extension Studies took place in clinical centres across the United States of America.
