Abstract
The objective of the study was analysis of health behaviours of women during the peri- and postmenopausal periods, and their relationship with cognitive functions. The criteria of inclusion into the study was age 45–60 and intellectual work. At the first stage of the study, a brief MoCA test was performed in order to include into the study women who did not show any features of dementia. The research instruments used in the study were: 1) Computer tests CNS VS (Polish version) for the assessment of cognitive functions; 2) Health Behaviours Inventory; 3) a questionnaire designed by the authors. The respondents had FSH evaluated. The results were statistically analyzed. The study covered 300 women aged 53.1±4.8. The general indicator of health behaviours of the examined women remained within the range of average results. In individual categories, the women in the study obtained low results. The women obtained the best results with respect to the category ‘prophylactic behaviours’, while the worst concerning ‘health practices’. Two significant positive correlations were found: between the intensity of the indicator of prophylactic behaviours and Processing Speed, and between the intensity of correct nutritional habits and Reaction Time.
