Alzheimer’s Disease in Women and the Role of Estrogens
Abstract
In many ways, women age successfully in virtually all species in which there is a difference in longevity, the female lives longer than the male. In humans, as a result of the additional seven to eight years of life span for a woman, two-thirds of the U.S. population are female by the age of 75, with increasing proportions as people approach 100 years of age.
