Abstract
Cognitive decline after menopause is highly heterogenous. It is uncertain whether what type, or amount, of cognitive decline associated with ageing is physiologically normal. The major risk factor for the most serious form of cognitive decline, dementia, is age itself, with the risk doubling for every 5 years past the age of 60. Dementia is much more age dependent as opposed to the more common condition, Minor Neurocognitive Disorder (MCD) (previously called Mild Cognitive Impairment). MCD may occur in around 20% of people over the age of 60 years but progression to dementia is relatively uncommon and many people with MCD may regress to normal.
