Andropause Cognitive Effects

Meaning

Andropause Cognitive Effects refer to the measurable, often subtle alterations in neurocognitive function associated with the age-related decline in androgen hormones, primarily testosterone, in aging males. These effects commonly manifest as impairments in executive function, reduced spatial memory, and decreased verbal fluency, which can significantly impact daily functioning and mental acuity. Clinically, this hormonal shift underscores the neuroprotective and neuromodulatory roles of testosterone within the central nervous system. These cognitive changes represent a critical intersection of endocrinology and geriatric neurology, requiring careful clinical assessment.
