This latest episode explores how women with hearing loss may face a greater risk of dementia than men, as Dr. Megan Fitzhugh and Dr. Judy Pa walk us through their work investigating the relationship between age-related hearing loss and dementia risk, with a focus on potential sex differences. Their work places a crucial lens on the need to consider biological sex and social factors when tackling disparities in Alzheimer's disease research.
