The signature tracked with higher FSH and lower estradiol, while inflammatory cytokines were especially elevated in women reporting night sweats. 🩸 Intriguingly, several of the same proteins were elevated in older women with cognitive decline or dementia. 💡 Menopause may offer a critical midlife window to identify brain vulnerability—and perhaps intervene early. ⚠️ Promising, but preliminary: larger longitudinal studies are needed.
