This Hormonal Health Concern May Impact Cognition At Midlife
A 30‑year longitudinal study of more than 1,000 women found that those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) performed worse on cognitive tests and showed reduced white‑matter integrity at midlife. The researchers controlled for BMI, smoking, alcohol use, income, diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors, yet the association remained significant. These findings suggest PCOS may independently affect brain health beyond its known metabolic complications. The authors recommend routine cognitive screening and lifestyle interventions for women with PCOS.
