Lifelong estrogen exposure and memory in older postmenopausal women.
Menopausal changes in endogenous estrogen have been associated with memory decline. However, because earlier findings regarding the effects of lifelong estrogen exposure on memory have been inconsistent, our purpose was to investigate these effects in older postmenopausal women with a comprehensive battery of memory measures. Participants were 126 nondemented naturally postmenopausal women, not...
متن کاملIt All Adds Up over Time: Cumulative Lead Exposure and Cognition in Older Women
Several epidemiologic studies have suggested an association between childhood asthma and exposure to disinfection by-products (DBPs) in the swimming pool environment. In August 2007 a group of clinicians, epidemiologists, exposure scientists, pool operations experts, and analytical chemists met to discuss the literature on childhood asthma and swimming pools, and to develop recommendations for ...
متن کاملCumulative Exposure to Lead in Relation to Cognitive Function in Older Women
BACKGROUND Recent data indicate that chronic low-level exposure to lead is associated with accelerated declines in cognition in older age, but this has not been examined in women. OBJECTIVE We examined biomarkers of lead exposure in relation to performance on a battery of cognitive tests among older women. METHODS Patella and tibia bone lead--measures of cumulative exposure over many years-...
متن کاملCumulative exposure to traumatic events in older adults.
OBJECTIVES The present study examined the impact of cumulative trauma exposure on current posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity in a nonclinical sample of adults in their 60s. The predictive utility of cumulative trauma exposure was compared to other known predictors of PTSD, including trauma severity, personality traits, social support, and event centrality. METHOD Community-...
متن کاملTesting the estrogen hypothesis of schizophrenia: Associations between cumulative estrogen exposure and cerebral structural measures
BACKGROUND Bone mineral density (BMD), as an indicator of cumulative estrogen exposure, may be reduced in female patients with psychotic disorder (van der Leeuw et al., 2013), possibly reflecting reduced cerebral exposure to estrogen and alterations in neuroprotective effects. To the degree that BMD is a marker of cumulative (endogenous) estrogen exposure, we hypothesized that BMD would be posi...
