“…Past studies in this domain 2,3 emphasized that the memory complaints also referred to as ''mental fog'' or ''slowness in thinking'' are commonly reported among midlife women. Findings of Dow 4 described it as a type of ephemeral cognitive dysfunction marked with memory complaints, forgetfulness, difficulty in concentration, and focusing. Previous studies [5][6][7][8] have recorded a significant prevalence of menopause associated symptoms among midlife women, while other studies in this realm 9,10 have noticed a decrease in the cognitive performance with the successive menopausal transition.…”

Objective: Menopause is a natural phenomenon among women during their midlife, which is accompanied by unfavorable physical, physiological, and psychological consequences. Therefore, the major aim of the present crosssectional study was to examine whether the cognitive performance of women is sensitive to the severity of menopausal symptoms.Methods: A total number of 404 rural women aged between 40 and 65 years were included in the present study. The menopausal symptoms and cognitive performance of the women were assessed using the Greene Climacteric Scale and Hindi Mini-Mental State Examination scale respectively.Results: The results of the present study demonstrated that women experiencing severe menopausal symptoms (higher Total Greene climacteric score) presented significantly lower mean values for orientation (8.11 vs 8.90, P < 0.001), registration (2.77 vs 2.91, P < 0.001), attention (4.31 vs 4.48, P < 0.01), recall (2.26 vs 2.53, P < 0.05), and language/visuo-spatial skills (7.13 vs 7.91, P < 0.001) as compared with their counterparts with mild menopausal symptoms. The multivariate linear regression model (after adjustment for age, marital status, and educational status) recorded severe depression and greater sexual dysfunction as the factors significantly associated with lower Mini-Mental State Examination scores.Conclusion: Hence, the findings of the present study indicated that the cognitive performance of women was sensitive to severe depression and sexual dysfunction.
