OBJECTIVE: To determine the cognitive domains improved or preserved by long-term @entity34 ( @entity34 ). DESIGN: A comprehensive neuropsychological test battery was administered to healthy postmenopausal @entity1 who had been treated or not treated with long-term @entity34 without interruption since menopause. SETTING: @entity1 were recruited by advertisement from a university town and surrounding areas. @entity1 (S): @entity1 60 years or older were studied who were treated (n = 16) or not treated (n = 13) with @entity34 . INTERVENTION(S): Neuropsychological testing included tests of memory, verbal fluency, executive functions, attention and concentration, and psychomotor function. Tests of intellectual function, @entity308 , and emotional functioning assessed general functions and comparability of the groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Neuropsychological testing scores were compared between groups. RESULT(S): No statistically significant differences between the groups were found for general demographic, intellectual, and psychological measures. Scores from both the Weschler Memory Scale Visual Reproduction (delayed recall) and the Digit Vigilance Test (attention) showed statistically significant better performance and fewer errors in the group of @entity1 on @entity34 . CONCLUSION(S): Long-term postmenopausal @entity34 is associated with higher scores in tests of nonverbal memory and attention.

Long-term estrogen replacement is associated with improved nonverbal memory and attentional measures in postmenopausal XXXX .
