The findings may help explain why women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s disease worldwide. Scientists say the research highlights the importance of developing prevention strategies tailored specifically for women, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all approaches.
The study could lead to more personalized methods for reducing dementia risk and improving long-term brain health.
