🧠 Why Does Alzheimer's Affect More Women Than Men?

 

New insights from JAMA Medical News reveal that the answer goes far beyond longevity. 🌸

Biology, hormones, and even social factors intertwine — from estrogen decline and X chromosome genetics to APOE4 risks and underdiagnosis due to stronger verbal memory.

 

Women make up two-thirds of all Alzheimer's cases, yet most clinical trials overlook sex-based analyses. As researchers call for more inclusive designs, one thing is clear — understanding how biology and bias intersect is vital for progress. 💡

 

🔬 It's time for Alzheimer's research to think beyond averages — and start thinking in X and Y.
