"Estrogen-related dementia" refers to cognitive decline linked to reduced estrogen levels, primarily in postmenopausal women. Estrogen plays a critical role in brain functions like memory and cognition, potentially safeguarding against Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia by supporting synaptic activity, reducing beta-amyloid plaques, and promoting neuronal survival.
Following menopause, declining estrogen levels may heighten the risk of cognitive impairment. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been explored as a potential strategy to counteract this decline, though its benefits and risks remain under scrutiny. A deeper understanding of how estrogen influences dementia can guide the development of targeted therapies aimed at preserving cognitive health, particularly in aging women.
