Article Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the severity of menopausal symptoms and everyday cognitive decline in Chinese peri and postmenopausal women.

Methods: The peri and postmenopausal Chinese Han female who first visited the menopausal clinic of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital was selected as the study participants. The general questionnaire was used to obtain the sociodemographic characteristics of the study participants. The menopausal rating scale (MRS) was used to assess the severity of menopausal symptoms. The short version of the Everyday Cognition (ECog-12) scales was used to assess everyday cognitive performance.

Results: A total of 295 women were included, with an average age of 51.12 ± 5.15 years. The average ECog scores were 1.51 ± 0.49 and the average MRS scores were 6.89 ± 4.77. In multiple linear regression analysis, after adjusting for confounding factors age, body mass index (BMI), monthly income, occupational status, education level, menopausal status, parity, regular exercise, and history of chronic diseases, complaints of anxiety and physical/mental fatigue were positively correlated with everyday cognitive decline.

Conclusions: Menopausal anxiety and physical/mental fatigue were the independent predictors of everyday cognition.
