Alzheimer's disease and related dementias among transfeminine adults: A cohort study
Whereas TF adults have significantly higher prevalence of ADRD compared to demographically similar cisgender referents, this association does not appear to be attributable to GAHT use. Future ADRD research should take a life-course perspective and examine the role of known modifiable risk factors such as social isolation, high cholesterol, head injury, physical inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, hypertension, obesity, and depression in this population.
