The Female Advantage in Verbal Memory and its Relationship to Cognitive Status and Cortical Thickness, Brain Amyloid and Tau in Aging
Female advantage in verbal memory was found in unimpaired but not older adults with MCI, consistent with female vulnerability to disease progression. Sex differences were not observed in the relationship between AD biomarkers and verbal memory, but results suggest cortical thickness may reflect female vulnerability to neurodegeneration more generally.
