Abstract
The results of this study support those of previous studies showing differences between men and women with schizophrenia in some cognitive functions. Our results suggest that postmenopausal women with schizophrenia show worse cognitive functioning in attention domains and better functioning in memory domains, while other neuropsychological domains seem to show no gender differences. These results do not support the initial hypothesis that postmenopausal women would show worse cognitive functioning due to the reduction of estrogens after menopause.
