New research suggests that older women who have both high estrogen levels and diabetes have a significantly higher risk of dementia, compared with older women who do not have these combined conditions. This is according to a study published online in Neurology. The investigators found that women who had high estrogen levels were more than twice as likely to develop dementia, compared with women who had low estrogen levels.
However, the researchers found that women who had both high estrogen levels and diabetes were 14 times more likely to develop dementia, compared with women without diabetes who had low estrogen levels.
