Presented by the Houston Methodist Neurological Institute 

IN-PERSON only 

Alzheimer’s disease affects twice as many women as men. This sex difference is not explained by the greater longevity of women. This symposium addresses sex differences as regards dementia. Clarifying sex specific mechanisms may lead to more effective, personalized treatments.

Learning Objectives

Having completed this activity as designed, participants will be able to:

  • List dementia syndromes that are more frequent in one of the two sexes.
  • Describe  some evidence that the greater prevalence of Alzheimer's disease among women is not only the result of their greater longevity as compared to men.
  • Indicate lines of research to clarify why dementia affects women and men differently.
