In a review paper just published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, I, along with researchers from the Society for Women’s Health Research Interdisciplinary Network on Alzheimer’s Disease call for more research into sex differences in Alzheimer’s disease to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
