Researchers are uncovering new reasons why more women are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease than men and it’s not just because they live longer. We hear from Fe Wyma, who cared for her mother with dementia for over a decade, about how that experience has changed her own approach to brain health. Plus, University of Toronto’s Gillian Einstein and Toronto Metropolitan University’s Natasha Rajah on how biology, menopause, and social factors all shape women’s risk, and what can be done to prevent cognitive decline.
