InterestModerate interest

The discussions show moderate curiosity, especially regarding the scientific details and implications, although some comments focus more on dismissiveness than engagement.

EngagementNeutral engagement

Abstract in brief

  • The KEEPSCog study investigated how 4 years of hormone therapy (either oral conjugated equine estrogens plus progesterone or transdermal estradiol plus progesterone) affected cognition and mood in recently postmenopausal women, compared to a placebo.
  • Results showed varied effects on different cognitive functions and mood, with the study using advanced statistical models to analyze data, including cases with missing information, and measuring outcomes like memory, attention, and mood states.
  • Overall, the women were around 52 years old, a few years past menopause, and the study tracked their cognitive and emotional health over time, finding some significant effects that help understand hormone therapy's impact during early postmenopause.]

@BigCofve @segajennesiss @IWannaSeeHowLon Oh wait the link you provided DOES have a scientific source. "Effects of Hormone Therapy on Cognition and Mood in Recently Postmenopausal Women" Not trans women. Just old cis women. LOL. Hormone blockers are not hormones and not steroidal.
