Article Synopsis
- - Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles due to decreased reproductive hormone production, occurring after 12 months of no periods, and may be linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to reduced estrogen levels.
- - Estrogen is important for brain function, affecting energy use and cognitive abilities, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) might offer cognitive benefits by enhancing estrogen's protective effects on the brain and improving heart health.
- - While there’s a lot of evidence supporting estrogen's positive effects on brain health, clinical trial results on HRT's benefits for cognitive decline in menopausal women are inconsistent, highlighting the need for more research in this area.
