Hormone replacement therapy, menopausal age and lifestyle variables are associated with better cognitive performance at follow-up but not cognition over time in older-adult women i... by Tamlyn J. Watermeyer, Tamlyn J. Watermeyer, Sarah Gregory, Sarah Gregory, Emmi Leetham, Chinedu T. Udeh-Momoh, Chinedu T. Udeh-Momoh, Chinedu T. Udeh-Momoh, Chinedu T. Udeh-Momoh, Chinedu T. Udeh-Momoh, Graciela Muniz-Terrera, Graciela Muniz-Terrera

“…Two regression models were employed: one analyzing cognitive performance at follow-up and another examining changes in cognitive scores over time.ResultsResults indicate that while age, education, HRT use, age at menopause, alcohol consumption, and diet were associated with cognitive function at a single later time point, only age remained a significant predictor when modeling cognition over time.DiscussionThese findings suggest that while HRT, menopausal age and lifestyle factors may support cognitive stability, they do not necessarily predict cognitive decline in post-menopausal older women. …”
