Menopause leaves a fingerprint that may predict dementia risk

Summary
New research suggests that the brain changes women experience during menopause may serve as early markers for dementia risk. Women commonly report hot flashes, anxiety, brain fog, and sleep disturbances during this transition, symptoms rooted in brain chemistry changes. Understanding these menopausal symptoms as potential dementia predictors could help identify at-risk women earlier, allowing for preventive interventions. This discovery highlights the critical link between hormonal changes and long-term neurological health in women.
