claimWhile these approaches can reduce symptoms, they mostly do not address the underlying endocrine or metabolic disturbances and may be associated with adverse effects, including gastrointestinal discomfort, weight gain, and fatigue [,].

claimNetworks consisted of known biomarkers of risk for late-life cognitive decline: the five components of MetS; Brain-predicted age difference calculated on gray and white matter volume; white matter hyperintensities; Default Mode Network functional connectivity; cerebral concentrations of N -acetyl aspartate, glutamate and myo-inositol; and serum concentrations of estradiol.

claimA negative expected influence indicates that higher levels of estradiol would be expected to decrease the number of relationships in the model, which is thought to indicate lower risk.
