Women were screened for a history of thyroid disease and the use of LT4. The study consisted of two primary groups: women with LT4-treated hypothyroidism and control women without thyroid disease. Each participant completed up to 9 cognitive assessments over the study period testing processing speed, working memory, and episodic memory (immediate and delayed recall). Multivariable generalized linear mixed models of scores for each cognitive assessment were developed to determine the association between LT4-treated hypothyroidism and cognitive function trajectories. Covariates included sociodemographic, clinical characteristics, and menopausal status (pre\/early peri, late peri, and surgical\/post). Sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the impact of abnormal TSH levels and practice effects (i.e., improvements in scoring after repeated testing).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 2033 women who were included in the study, 227 (11.2%) met criteria for LT4-treated hypothyroidism. At baseline, both processing speed and working memory scores were higher in LT4-treated women (mean processing speed scores: 56.5 vs 54.4;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      value = 0.006; mean working memory scores: 6.8 vs 6.4;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      value = 0.018). However, when considering the effect of LT4-treated hypothyroidism over time, there were no significant differences in the rate of cognitive decline (in any measure) between the hypothyroidism and control groups with or without covariate adjustment. The results were similar when considering LT4-treated women with abnormal TSH levels or after minimizing practice effects.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We observed no difference in cognitive decline between women with LT4-treated hypothyroidism and women without thyroid disease.
