Associations among age at menopause, depressive symptoms, and cognitive function
Early menopause is associated with worse depressive symptoms and cognitive function. Early menopause is a high-risk factor for cognitive decline and depressive symptoms. Menopause at < 40 years is linked to worse orientation and immediate and delayed recall. Men exhibit worse cognitive function than women experiencing late menopause.
