Estrogens have specific receptors spread out in various systems of the organism. The drastic hormonal fall after menopause may be followed by a series of effects, which may be more or less relevant in the different areas of the organism. The bone constitutes a field that clearly reflects that impact, and postmenopausal osteoporosis has received attention in one ad hoc chapter. The present chapter reviews the impact on functions of the central nervous system, particularly cognition and mood, the skeletal system, specifically osteoarthritis, and the cardiovascular system. The obvious interest of the chapter derives from the importance of the selected systems, which may house highly prevalent pathologies, with a considerable toll in morbidity, mortality, and dependence.
