The articles published by the Annals of Eugenics (1925–1954) have been made available online as an historical archive intended for scholarly use. The work of eugenicists was often pervaded by prejudice against racial, ethnic and disabled groups. The online publication of this material for scholarly research purposes is not an endorsement of those views nor a promotion of eugenics in any way.
Design. A pre-post design with an HRT and non-HRT group was utilised. Method. Each individual completed verbal memory (AMIPB), concentration (PASAT, Digit span), mood and menopausal symptom assessments, together with a subjective memory questionnaire on two occasions: first appointment and at three month follow-up. For comparison, premenopausal intellectual function was estimated using the NART. Results. A significant proportion of women showed some degree of memory impairment at their first assessment visit. Subjective reporting of memory problems was high. Following HRT, no changes were observed in either objective assessment or subjective reporting of memory. However, there were significant group by time effects for vasomotor symptoms and mood, suggesting that the HRT group significantly improved on these dimensions by the second assessment. Non-significant improvements were noted in both groups on measures of concentration and symptoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
