A study published in JAMA Network Open on August 25 found a significant association between early menopause and less favorable functional and structural neurological outcomes. ^[1] Earlier menopause was associated with earlier clinical Alzheimer's disease onset, less favorable cognitive aging trajectories, and faster late-life brain atrophy. ^[2] Dr. Ross noted that this corresponds to a 2% faster onset of Alzheimer's disease per decade of earlier menopause. ^[3] Women who experienced surgical menopause following ovary removal had faster memory decline and an earlier Alzheimer's disease diagnosis compared to those who experienced natural menopause. ^[4] Participants in the UCSF study wore wrist-based trackers continuously for 30 days to capture real-time movement data. ^[5] Participants who engaged in these 10-minute brisk sessions showed better brain health, particularly when sessions happened more often and at a higher cadence. ^[6]
