A new study led by Diana Kuh of University College London, UK finds whether women will affect her memory years later due to the arrival of menopause. She and her colleagues have been initiated by existing studies in their studies that seem to indicate that the later menopause arrives, which is related to the improvement of awareness as older people grow.
However, as the study authors explained, these studies did not use particularly large samples and did not benefit from a group of participants of similar ages. Therefore, Diana Kuh and his team set out to survey data of 1,315 women through the National Health and Development Survey of the Medical Research Council of the UK.
The relationship between menopause and memory, as part of the investigation, has been tracked in clinics since birth - That is, since March 1946 - At least one recognition assessment has been conducted for adults. In addition, the survey also included questions about his age and other aspects of reproductive health. At 43, 53, 60-64 and 69, study participants were asked to conduct oral memory tests and test their recognition processing speed.
Memory evaluation includes a task in which participants are required to recall as many items as possible from 15 lists and do three times. In addition, the survey also included whether women were undergoing hormone replacement, whether they had received any surgery, such as uterine resection surgery, child cognition and some other social factors, such as education level and career. The researchers explained all these factors in the analysis.
Delay in menopause may be beneficial for language memory
Studies show that on average, participants remembered 25.8 vocabulary at the age of 43, and this number dropped to 23.3 vocabulary at the age of 69.
However, women who occur naturally during menopause and later years have higher scores, and they can remember 0.09 more words a year each night. This correlation is not affected by the use of hormone replacement. However, she added, “more research and follow-up work are needed to determine whether this is the case.” In contrast, in women who have surgery, there is no similar correlation between age and memory. Diana Kuh said, "The possible mechanism behind the research results may be due to the action of the estrogen receptor, which regulates the genes that code brain-derived neuronal nutrients, which may be due to differences in memory ability and processing speed." She continued, "Brain-derived neuronal factors help the formation and storage of memory."
