Associations of lifetime cumulative estrogen exposure with lifecourse social exposures, cognitive decline, and dementia risk among postmenopausal White, Black, and Latina women
Cumulative estrogen exposure is socially patterned. We found that lifecourse social factors and estrogen exposure synergistically contribute to women's late-life cognitive health outcomes. Understanding how sex-linked biology and gender-related social forces intertwine is essential for developing interventions to decrease dementia risk among women.
