Abstract

Extreme menopausal ages-premature (<40), early (40-44), and late (>55)-are linked to lower baseline cognition versus menopause ages 50-55, persisting over 7 years. Cognitive disadvantage for late menopause (>55) versus 50-55 tends to increase over time. Health interventions should consider extreme menopause ages in women's cognitive health.
