Highlight

• Higher parity interacts with amyloid pathology to exacerbate cognitive decline in cognitively unimpaired postmenopausal women.
• Women with positive CSF β-amyloid biomarkers and greater parity show reduced hippocampal volume over time.
• Parity may influence brain resilience to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology in preclinical stages.
• These findings have implications for understanding sex-specific factors affecting AD progression.
