How Alzheimer’s is Different for Women and Men
|
Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s four years ago, 75-year-old Elaine still enjoys jigsaw puzzles, knitting, and dancing. She manages day-to-day life with the help of a GPS tracker – prompted after a trip on the wrong bus – and with reminder notes stuck around the house by her husband Fred, who is also in the beginning stages of the disease himself. They both participate regularly in Alzheimer’s discussions and
research, and plan to continue to involve themselves for as long as they can.
Research conducted with gender at the forefront is raising new possibilities for how we detect, treat, and support the growing number of people living with Alzheimer's. This makes the involvement of couples such as Elaine and Fred essential when it comes to Alzheimer’s research. Scientists believe that pinning down any similarities and differences in how the disease affects men and women could help
tremendously with solving some of the medical mysteries behind the disease.
