- Abstract
Accumulating biologic evidence suggests that estrogen is related to cognitive function. Several epidemiologic investigations have reported that hormone therapy may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. However, fewer studies have examined the relation of postmenopausal hormone use to general cognitive function in nondemented older women. Thus, we examined the association of hormone therapy to performance on four cognitive tests among healthy participants of the Nurses' Health Study.
