Abstract:
Background - Menopause is one of the most significant events in women life and brings in a no. of physiological changes that affect the life of a women. After the menopause, the brain is deprived of the trophic effect of oestrogen, which may be selective on certain neuronal pathways. This may result in differential cognitive impairment. Daily life consists of numerous situations in which people perform a cognitive and a motor task simultaneously. Simultaneous performance of motor and cognitive tasks [dual tasking] places demand on attentional resources and reflects an increasing cognitive challenge for postmenopausal women and those with cognitive impairment. For this Montreal Cognitive assessment scale was designed to assess and evaluate cognitive status of postmenopausal women. And the TUG Cog test will check their dual task performance. Methodology - An Observational study was done in which postmenopausal women between the age of 45 to 55 years in and around PCMC, Pune was selected by Convenient sampling as per inclusion criteria. Postmenopausal women who were on hormone replacement therapy, who were having any history of traumatic brain injury, stroke or depression and Postmenopausal women having any walking impairment were excluded. Consent from subjects were taken. The hard copies of MoCA scale were given to the subject and the subject was asked to fill up the form. Also, the hard copies of proforma were filled. Data was collected, a statistical analysis was performed, and results were tabulated. Result - 100 postmenopausal women with naturally and surgically induced menopause between the ages of 45 to 60 years were included in this observational study. The value of correlation coefficient r is -0.8320 which is calculated from Pearsons’s correlation coefficient calculator. The graph depicts a negative correlation which in itself showing a positive outcome of the study. Conclusion - The study concludes that there is a positive correlation between cognition and dual tasking activities in postmenopausal women suggesting of impact on dual tasking activities with cognitive changes.
