The relationship between sex and brain volume in a diverse sample of older adults differs by age group
The relationship between sex and brain region volume may vary by age group. Female sex was associated with smaller occipital and greater ventricular volumes at younger ages, but not at older ages. Further research is needed to elucidate drivers of these sex by age group differences and if they are associated with cognition.
