摘要

At test times 18 months apart (Time 1 and Time 2), men (n Time 1 = 31, Time 2 = 23), women estrogen-users (n Time 1 = 14, Time 2 = 10), and women estrogen non-users (n Time 1 = 41, Time 2 = 27), whose average age was 72.1 and 73.4 years at Time 1 and Time 2, respectively, were tested with a battery of neuropsychological tests measuring verbal memory, visual memory, concentration/attention, language fluency and semantic memory. Plasma levels of CRT and DHEAS were assayed by radioimmunoassay at both test times. The men had higher DHEAS levels than both groups of women at both test times (p < 0.001) and also had a higher DHEAS/CRT ratio compared to the estrogen non-users (p < 0.05). Although there were no group differences in CRT levels at either time, CRT levels increased in the estrogen non-using women from Time 1 to Time 2 (p < 0.001). Subjects with lower CRT levels performed better than those with higher levels on several tests of declarative memory (p < 0.05). Men and estrogen-users had higher Digit Span scores compared to female estrogen non-users at both test times (p < 0.01), and women estrogen-users also had higher Backward Digit Span scores than non-users (p < 0.05). Both groups of women performed better than men on Category Retrieval (p < 0.01). These findings suggest that higher CRT levels in elderly men and women are associated with poorer explicit memory functioning; however, these results failed to provide any evidence that DHEAS is protective against declarative memory decline with aging.
