@naiarademnitz Geeske Peeters @ProfLawlor @sex_aging "Sex differences in the incidence and prevalence of young onset AD" shows a slight higher risk for women. Larger studies are however required. https://t.co/tHgA1vBPHd

This better maintaining of cognitive function in the early AD stage may delayed the diagnosis in women limiting the opportunity to intervene early in the disease. Importance of #precision #medicine @womensbrainpro @MaTeFerretti @IulitaMf @ArenazaEider
