Menopause's Effect on Cognitive Function and Behavior in Women
Menopause’s Impact on Cognitive Function and Behavior
Recent research highlights the significant relationship between menopause and cognitive function. A study published in PLOS ONE on March 5, investigates menopausal symptoms and their association with cognitive and behavioral changes.
Key Findings
- Higher menopausal symptom burden linked to poorer cognitive performance.
- Participants exhibited higher scores on the Everyday Cognition (ECog-II) Scale.
- Mild Behavioral Impairment Checklist (MBI-C) scores also increased.
Role of Hormone Therapy
- Hormone therapy showed no significant association with ECog-II total scores.
- However, hormone therapy was linked to lower MBI-C total scores.
This research underscores the importance of addressing menopausal symptoms and their potential impact on cognitive and behavioral functioning later in life.
