ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

We evaluated the difference in cognitive test performances between estrogen users and estrogen non-users in postmenopausal women.

METHOD:

15 estrogen user women and 15 non-user women participated in this study. They were all menopausal and had 12 or more education years. We used the K-BNT(Boston naming test Korean version), BDI(Beck depression inventory), similarity test(subtest of K-WAIS) and SRT(selective reminding test) to evaluate the cognitive function between two groups.

RESULT:

Estrogen users scored significantly higher than non-users in cognitive test, particularly in similarity test and SRT(delayed recall). Estrogen users also scored lower than non-users in BDI.

CONCLUSION:

Estrogen replacement therapy may help postmenopausal women to maintain cognitive function and probably to improve the depression symptoms to some extent.
