July 5, 2022A Cross-Sectional Comparison of Arterial Stiffness and Cognitive Performances in Physically Active Late Pre- and Early Post-Menopausal Females
The reduction in estrogen levels during menopause can raise blood pressure and arterial stiffness, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and cognitive decline in post-menopausal women. In a study led by Amélie Debray at the Montreal Heart Institute, 30 physically active women, both pre- and post-menopausal, exhibited similar arterial stiffness and cognitive performance. However, the research did find that the extent of menopausal symptoms negatively correlated with performance on a working memory task.
