Why is Dementia Different for Women Than it is for Men?

Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2017, 72-year-old Anne still enjoys puzzles, sewing, and watercolor painting. New activities are less appealing to her and she is becoming a lot more forgetful lately and in need of assistance with everyday activities.
Jeffrey has also had Alzheimer’s since 2017. He still enjoys the same activities he did then, yet the severity of his Alzheimer’s seems a lot less than Anne’s at this point. How can this be?
Anne and Jeffrey are among more than 50 million people worldwide living with dementia – a degenerative disease affecting memory and brain processing. Alzheimer’s is one of several forms of dementia.

living with Alzheimer's are women.
