Despite overwhelming biological plausibility, evidence for a protective effect of estrogen on cognitive function in postmenopausal women is inconsistent. This study examines the association between endogenous estrogen levels and subsequent four-year decline in cognitive function test performance in community-dwelling older women. Longitudinal cohort study 343 postmenopausal women (median age 70 yrs) Between 1984 and 1987, serum for measurement of sex hormones was obtained along with relevant covariates. Cognitive function was assessed in 1988–91 and again in 1992–96 using the Category Fluency test, the Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE) and Trail Making Test B (Trails B). Women in the highest tertile of estrone and bioavailable estradiol had, respectively, 1.75 (95% CI 1.02, 3.07) and 1.79 (95% CI 1.04, 3.10) higher odds of 4 year decline in Category Fluency, a test of frontal lobe function, compared to those in the lowest tertile, independent of age and education. The 20% of women with highest tertile levels of both estrone and bioavailable estradiol had a two-fold higher odds of verbal fluency loss (OR=2.17; 95% CI 1.21, 3.89) Adjustment for testosterone levels or for obesity-related factors associated with high endogenous estrogens (higher BMI, waist girth, and triglycerides, and lower HDL cholesterol) did not alter results. Neither estrogen was associated with change in MMSE or Trails B scores. Higher endogenous estrogen levels were associated with greater decline in verbal fluency in postmenopausal women. This association was not explained by elevated androgens or by obesity or obesity-related factors.
