Introduction: Cognition is a scientific synonym for thinking.Cognitive decline is a recurrent complaint during the menopause transition and among the post-menopausal women. Body Mass Index (BMI) is an important indicator of obesity status and its relation with cognitive performance in post-menopausal women needs exploration. Aim: To assess the relation between menopause, cognitive status and BMI. Materials and Method: The study was carried out in GMC, Jammu. A total of 100 women with natural menopause attending the Gynae and Obs OPD were included in the study. Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) was employed to assess their cognitive status. BMI of each subject was calculated as per the standard formula. Results: Mean MMSE test score of the subjects was 24.63+4.77. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) was seen in 44% while severe cognitive impairment was seen in only 8% of the subjects. 4% of our subjects were underweight, 44% were of normal weight, 38% were overweight and only 14% were obese. Statistically there was no significant impact of BMI on their cognitive status as measured by MMSE scale. Conclusion: Mild Cognitive Impairment was present inpostmenopausal women, however, significant association between the BMI and cognitive function was not seen.
