Cognitive function and endogenous sex hormones in older women
Article Abstract:
A study has been carried out in 393 community-dwelling women 55-89 years of age not using replacement estrogen to find out whether endogenous hormone levels predict cognitive function in older women. In these women higher endogenous estrogen levels were not associated with significantly better performance on cognitive function tests. Higher levels of testosterone predicted better categorical performance on some instruments.
