Scientists are learning that women are almost twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s as men—and it’s not just because women live longer! Key differences come down to biology: women’s two X chromosomes affect brain and immune function, and menopause brings significant hormonal changes as estrogen drops. Recent research shows that late-life hormone therapy may even increase Alzheimer’s risk. Understanding these differences can help pave the way for treatments and prevention strategies that work for both women and men.
