Sex differences in dementia pathology and cognitive performance in a population-based, ethnically diverse Brazilian autopsy study.
Ethnically diverse autopsy study reveals biological sex differences in dementia pathology, explaining why symptoms differ between men and women.
This population-based autopsy study from Brazil examines sex differences in the neuropathological correlates of dementia across an ethnically diverse cohort, linking brain pathology to antemortem cognitive performance. The findings contribute to understanding why dementia manifests differently in men versus women and provide ethnically diverse data often underrepresented in dementia research.
