    PCOS Linked to Cognitive Decline in Midlife: Study Finds Women with Condition Score 11% Lower on Attention Ability Tests

    Broke On: Wednesday, 31 January 2024 Recent studies have linked polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with cognitive decline in midlife. Women with PCOS scored 11% lower on average compared to those without the condition when measuring attention ability and performed poorly on tests assessing memory, attention, and verbal abilities even after adjusting for age, race, and education. The exact causes of PCOS are still unknown but genetic factors may contribute to its development. It is important for women with PCOS to maintain a healthy lifestyle by having regular exercise routines that improve brain health such as cardiovascular exercises.
