Description
Maison Abu Raya and co-authors study sex gaps in brain amyloid scans in 2025. Amyloid build-up is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, and past work on sex gaps gave mixed results. The team used a large real-world study of people with memory loss or dementia.
The parent study scanned more than eighteen thousand Medicare patients aged sixty-five and over. A subset of about ten thousand scans was measured on a common scale. Women were slightly younger and had higher rates of dementia than men. Women also showed higher rates of positive scans than men in the early results reported here.
