🧠 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.
