Cognitive Performance and Climacteric Stage in 360 Chilean Women

Chilean women aged 50–81 years from the Magallanes Region were assessed for cognitive performance across three climacteric stages. The dataset, created by Jonathan Lühr-Henríquez and last updated in 2026, contains results from the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-Revised and Symbol Digit Modalities Test for 360 participants. It supports a Bayesian multivariate analysis of how the relationship between age and cognition varies by menopausal stage.

Use Cases

• Modeling the interaction between chronological age and climacteric stage on cognitive scores based on the described Bayesian multivariate analysis.
• Investigating stage-specific cognitive aging trajectories using the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-Revised and Symbol Digit Modalities Test scores.
• Benchmarking cognitive performance in a Latin American population sample of 360 women across early menopause, intermediate, and advanced postmenopause.

Strengths

• Includes 360 participants, providing a sample for analysis.
• Assesses cognitive performance with two standardized instruments: ACE-R and SDMT.
• Classifies participants into three specific climacteric stages based on years since last menstrual period.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is contained in a 24.4 KB DOCX file, suggesting the underlying dataset is very small in scale.
• The geographic scope is limited to the Magallanes Region of Chile, which may affect generalizability.
