Kramer, Arthur F. Kramer, M. Ilyas Kamboh, Kirk I. Erickson, Kirk I. Erickson

“…We hypothesized that (1) oophorectomy prior to natural menopause would be associated with poorer cognitive performance, (2) timing and duration of birth control and menopausal hormone therapy would influence associations with cognitive performance, and (3) APOE4 carrier status would interact with oophorectomy and hormone therapy to influence cognitive performance.MethodsIn 461 post-menopausal females (M age = 69.6) we assessed oophorectomy and hormone therapy use to examine associations with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and factor-analytically derived composite scores for episodic memory, processing speed, working memory, executive function/attentional control, and visuospatial processing.ResultsHypothesis (1) We did not observe associations between oophorectomy prior to natural menopause and poorer cognitive performance. …”
