Declines in other areas of cognition, including processing speed and verbal memory, were not observed.SWAN is a multisite, longitudinal cohort study that began in 1996.

It seeks to investigate physical, psychological, and social changes that occur during midlife. Baseline information was collected at the start of the study from participants, women aged 42 to 55, and follow-up visits continue to be conducted annually.
