Exploring sex differences in Alzheimer’s disease: a comprehensive analysis of a large patient cohort from a memory unit
Our findings do not strongly support the notion that sex significantly modifies the clinical progression of AD dementia based on cognitive data. Further research is essential to validate whether women with mild AD dementia indeed progress more rapidly than men at a similar stage and to delve into the potential underlying reasons for this finding.
