Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate how blood flow to the brain affects cognition in women who are postmenopausal, and how the use of hormone therapy early in menopause might change brain function. The testing in this study will add to the knowledge about brain aging in women. Researchers will determine if blood flow to the brain, brain structure, and cognition differences among women who took hormones in the past as part of Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS; NCT00154180), are currently taking hormones, or never took menopausal hormones.
Detailed Description: This is a continuation of the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS) (KEEPS; NCT00154180), a multicenter double blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized trial funded by the Kronos Longevity Research Institute, Phoenix, AZ to test the hypothesis that hormone therapy started early in menopause (within the "window of opportunity") would slow progression of atherosclerosis as measured by changes in carotid artery intima-medial thickening and coronary arterial calcification.

This study will involve a single follow-up evaluation of brain imaging and cognitive function of women who were randomized to menopausal hormone therapy (mHT) or placebo, approximately 13 years post-randomization and nine years after the end of mHT administration phase in KEEPS (NCT00154180). No interventions are given as part of this study; any current hormonal treatments are by choice and prescribed by the participant's personal physician.
