flag Early menopause plus poor heart health may increase dementia risk due to faster brain aging, study finds.

flag Women who experience early menopause may face a higher risk of dementia due to accelerated brain aging, particularly when combined with poor heart health, according to multiple studies presented at the 2025 Menopause Society meeting. flag Research involving over 500 women found that early menopause, especially with reduced cardiac function, is linked to lower gray matter volume, increased white matter abnormalities, and poorer cognitive performance. flag These changes, tied to reduced blood flow and brain tissue damage, suggest that hormonal shifts and cardiovascular health are critical factors in dementia risk. flag Experts stress the need for integrated heart and brain health monitoring and more inclusive research to guide prevention strategies for women.
