RESUMO
A perimenopausa é a fase da vida reprodutiva feminina caracterizada diversas alterações, inclusive cognitivas devido ao hipoestrogenismo. Através de estudo duplo-cego randomizado com 16 mulheres na perimenopausa deprimidas que receberam estradiol e 16 que receberam placebo analisou-se as alterações cognitivas da atenção, memória e linguagem; o efeito da reposição hormonal com estradiol e a correlação entre os sintomas depressivos e menopausais com as alterações destas funções. Os resultados mostraram melhora do controle inibitório, memória imediata e tardia (verbal e visual) e da capacidade de nomeação nos dois grupos; melhora dos sintomas depressivos e menopausais para o grupo que recebeu reposição hormonal e não correlação entre a melhora destes sintomas e a melhora das funções cognitivas.
ABSTRACT
Perimenopause is the female reproductive life period characterized by several changes including cognitive impairments related to hypoestrogenism. In a randomized double-blind study 16 depressive perimenopaused women took estradiol, while another group of 16 depressive perimenopaused women took placebo. Cognitive alterations associated to attention, memory and language, and estradiol hormone replacement therapy effects were evaluated. In addition, correlations among symptoms of depression and menopause, and cognitive alterations were also analyzed. The results had shown, in both groups, an improvement in inhibitory mental control, in immediate and delayed (verbal and visual) memory, and in naming capacity. In the group that received hormone replacement therapy our findings revealed a weakening of depression and menopause symptoms, which had shown no correlation with cognitive functions.
