"But for women, cognitive vulnerability starts much earlier, even if symptoms don’t show up for decades.

One key reason? Hormones.

The hormonal fluctuations of perimenopause affect the brain in real time, and it’s been theorized that this is why nearly two-thirds of all clinically diagnosed cases of Alzheimer’s disease are in women.

That’s not a small difference. That’s nearly seven out of ten, even if most aren’t early onset.
