- how symptoms are expressed
- care needs and caregiving
We also know that:
- dementia in women tends to progress faster
- symptomatically, women may present show more depression as a symptom than men do
- brain health research subjects have typically been men, so it鈥檚 unclear whether current therapies and treatments are as effective for women
