Description
Elizabeth Shaaban and co-authors study how sex and racial group jointly shape brain markers of Alzheimer's disease in a 2025 paper. Past work looked at each trait on its own. Less was known about how the two cross, which can hide groups at high risk.
The team studied 202 adults, with an average age of 62 years. Brain scans and blood tests gave four kinds of markers, from protein buildup to vessel harm. Women and men, and Black and white adults, differed on most markers. Yet the joint cross effect showed up for just one marker, in one brain zone. There, Black men held the highest load of white matter harm.
