Why Women Develop Alzheimer's Earlier: Brain Changes Begin in Midlife

Lisa Mosconi, a neuroscientist studying sex differences in Alzheimer's disease, argues that women show earlier pathological brain changes in midlife compared to men, and that the 2:1 female-to-male prevalence cannot be explained by longevity differences alone.
