Beginning this month, researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the University of Vermont are launching a study to examine whether cognitive changes that occur at menopause for some women are related to an increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
The study, supported by more than $7 million in funding from the National Institute on Aging, will look at biological, brain and memory changes in normal postmenopausal women to determine whether they may be connected to abnormal aging patterns later in life.
