Objectives: To examine the validity of the Menopause Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL) domains when used with elderly women. We also determined whether MENQOL domain scores were related to depression and cognitive complaints.

Methods: 148 post-menopausal women (60-88 years old), not on hormone replacement therapy, were screened for a randomized control trial examining the effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy in the delay of cognitive impairment.
