Kvinnors verbala minnesförmåga kan fördröja Alzheimers-diagnos med flera år

Kvinnor upprätthåller normala resultat på standardiserade minnestester i nästan tre år längre än män, även efter att Alzheimers-relaterade hjärnförändringar har börjat. Denna kognitiva fördel kan dölja tidiga tecken på sjukdomen och fördröja behandling. En ny analys av långtidsstudier i USA och Kanada belyser problemet.

Forskare ledda av Sasha Novozhilova vid McGill University har granskat data från äldre vuxna som genomgått regelbundna kognitiva tester och hjärnavbildningar. Deltagarna fick återge listor med 15 ord vid omedelbara, fördröjda och störda förhållanden. Kvinnor med betydande amyloidansamlingar i hjärnan fortsatte att prestera normalt i genomsnitt 2,7 år längre än män med jämförbar patologi.
