Ny forskning från University of California San Diego visar att flera vanliga riskfaktorer för demens påverkar kvinnors kognitiva förmåga kraftigare än mäns. Resultaten bidrar till att förklara varför kvinnor står för nästan två tredjedelar av alzheimerfallen i USA.

Forskare analyserade data från mer än 17 000 medelålders och äldre vuxna inom ramen för Health and Retirement Study. De undersökte 13 etablerade riskfaktorer, inklusive högt blodtryck, diabetes, depression, fysisk inaktivitet och hörselnedsättning. Resultaten publicerades den 19 maj i tidskriften Biology of Sex Differences.

A new study shows that blood tests can detect signs of Alzheimer's several years before the disease develops. American researchers published the findings in The Lancet.

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.
