In menopausal women, hypothyroidism treatment with levothyroxine was not linked to cognitive function decline, highlighting the need to investigate other causes.
Women with hypothyroidism treated with levothyroxine show no significant cognitive decline across the menopausal transition compared with those without thyroid disease .Levothyroxine, the primary treatment for hypothyroidism, has been linked to perceived cognitive deficit s, yet it is unclear whether this is due to the underlying condition being inadequately treated or other factors.
Using data collected from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation, which encompasses five ethnic/racial groups from seven centers across the United States, researchers compared cognitive function over time between women with hypothyroidism treated with levothyroxine and those without thyroid disease.
Participants underwent cognitive testing across three domains — processing speed, working memory, and episodic memory — which were assessed over a mean follow-up of 13 years.
