Background: Studies suggest that moderate drinking may benefit cognition and the effect may favor women. This study investigated effects of moderate drinking on visuospatial functioning in postmenopausal women. Visuospatial processes are sensitive to alcohol abuse and are thought to be sensitive to hormonal fluctuations. Three questions were posed in order to: explore visuospatial processes in moderate‐drinking and abstaining postmenopausal women, assess visuospatial differences in women using no estrogen replacement therapy (No‐ERT), ERT alone (ERT‐only), and ERT with progestin (ERT+Pro), and identify alcohol/ERT interactions associated with visuospatial performance. |
