Andropause Cognition

Meaning

Andropause Cognition refers to the specific, measurable changes in cognitive function that occur in aging males, exhibiting a temporal and mechanistic correlation with the age-related decline in circulating androgen levels, notably free testosterone. This clinical concept encompasses alterations in various higher-order brain functions, including diminished spatial memory, reduced processing speed, and subtle shifts in executive function. The observed cognitive shifts underscore the critical role of sex steroids in maintaining central nervous system integrity and function throughout the male lifespan.
