De nouvelles recherches de l'université de Californie à San Diego montrent que plusieurs facteurs de risque courants de démence affectent davantage les performances cognitives des femmes que celles des hommes. Ces résultats contribuent à expliquer pourquoi les femmes représentent près des deux tiers des cas de maladie d'Alzheimer aux États-Unis.

Les scientifiques ont analysé les données de plus de 17 000 adultes d'âge mûr et âgés participant à la Health and Retirement Study. Ils ont examiné 13 facteurs de risque établis, notamment l'hypertension, le diabète, la dépression, l'inactivité physique et la perte auditive. Les résultats ont été publiés le 19 mai dans la revue Biology of Sex Differences.

A new American Heart Association scientific statement published Feb. 25, 2026 in Circulation projects that cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes will become more common among U.S. women by 2050, with particularly steep increases forecast for some younger women and for several racial and ethnic groups.

Women’s verbal memory may delay alzheimer’s diagnosis by years

Women maintain normal scores on standard memory tests for nearly three years longer than men even after Alzheimer’s-related brain changes begin. This cognitive advantage can mask early signs of the disease and delay treatment. A new analysis of long-term studies in the US and Canada highlights the issue.

A new study has found that adults with higher vitamin D levels in their 30s and 40s tend to have lower levels of tau protein in their brains about 16 years later. Tau is a key biomarker associated with dementia. The research, published this week, highlights a potential modifiable risk factor for brain health.
