 The text discusses how women's bodies change during menopause, and how this affects their mood and cognitive function. It highlights that women who experience more severe symptoms of menopause are more likely to have lower levels of estrogen, which can affect their memory and cognitive abilities. The study also found that women who had undergone hormone replacement therapy (HRT) had improved cognitive function compared to those who did not receive HRT. Additionally, the research suggests that the timing of menopause may play a role in cognitive decline, with women who enter menopause earlier experiencing greater cognitive decline. Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of considering hormonal changes during menopause when evaluating cognitive function in older women.
