Increasing evidence shows that several additional factors are important, including the age at which the symptoms are occurring, the time since, the severity of the symptoms, whether they co-occur with night sweats and sleep disruption, and the cardiovascular status of the woman. Conversely, they found that the women who had a favorable CVD risk factor status and were ever users of estrogen were less likely to have cognitive impairment., we need randomized clinical trials of the presence or absence of vasomotor symptoms and cognitive and CVD outcomes. Such analyses are ongoing, and new randomized trials focused specifically on women in early menopause would be very beneficial.
