Reproductive period and brain health in post‐menopausal women from urban India
Our study found that a longer reproductive period is associated with better attention function, preserved grey matter, and larger cortical volumes in post-menopausal women. These findings highlight the neuroprotective effects of extended estrogen exposure, potentially reducing the risk of age-related brain atrophy. Future research should investigate the mechanisms underlying these associations and their public health implications.
