Healio (9/11, Welsh) reports trauma exposure is associated with “increased measures of inflammation and neuronal death for Black women and accelerated brain age indicators regardless of race and ethnicity,” according to findings presented at the Annual Meeting of The Menopause Society. Researchers “analyzed data from 252 perimenopausal or postmenopausal women” and found that “compared with no trauma exposure, exposure to one to two traumas (P = .005) or three or more traumas (P = .019) was associated with older white matter age.”
