Dementia

Most cases of Alzheimer’s disease occur in women.  This study showed that both endogenous levels of hormones (those produced naturally when young) and hormone replacement therapy led to prevention of age related cognitive decline.  So, the longer these hormones are available to the brain, the less likely one will end up with dementia.
