Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how the number of pregnancies and births affects cognitive function in postmenopausal women, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2011-2014.
- Among the 1,259 screened women aged 60 and above, 24.3% exhibited low cognitive performance, with factors such as age, ethnicity, education level, and health conditions like diabetes and hypertension significantly influencing results.
- The findings suggest that a higher number of pregnancies is linked to poorer cognitive performance, indicating that fewer pregnancies may contribute to better cognitive health in this demographic.
