Description
Alvaro de Oliveira Franco and co-authors describe a 2025 study of early menopause and thinking skills in Brazil. Menopause before age forty five may raise later risk of poor cognition, but data from poorer nations are scarce. The team used a national aging study to test the link.
They studied women over age fifty and built one score from four thinking skills. More than a quarter of the women had early menopause. That group had fewer school years and lower scores on the joint test. The link held after age, heart risk, and low mood were counted. Low mood, age, and heart risk also tracked with lower scores. The authors call for work on causes and on care.
