Did you know that women are more likely than men to develop Alzheimer’s Disease? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Over 5.8 million people in the US have Alzheimer’s Disease and 2/3 of them are women. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found a link between high midlife stress and Alzheimer’s risk. But it’s only pertains to women! They studied 900 participants for over 20 years. During this time, they asked both male and female participants if they had experienced any stressful or traumatic events. Both sexes reported roughly the same percentage in each category. But, over time, only women showed a decrease in memory function. Talk to your doctor if you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease.
