Current research has focused on differential risks to explain higher rates of AD in women. However, factors that reduce risk for AD, like cognitive\/brain reserve, are less well explored. We asked: what is known about sex and gender differences in how reserve mitigates risk for AD? We conducted a narrative review of the literature, with keywords: \u201csex\/gender differences\u201d, \u201ccognitive\/brain reserve\u201d, \u201cAlzheimer\u2019s Disease\u201d, and the following cognitive reserve contributors: \u201ceducation\u201d, \u201cIQ\u201d, \u201coccupation\u201d, \u201ccognitive stimulation\u201d, \u201cbilingualism\u201d, \u201csocioeconomic status\u201d, \u201cphysical activity\u201d, \u201csocial support\u201d. Sixteen papers disaggregated their data by sex. Those papers observed sex and gender differences in reserve contributors. There is also evidence that greater reserve may be more beneficial in lowering AD risk in women, although more research is needed. We discuss how traditional reserve contributors are gendered and may not capture factors that support cognition in aging women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"studies-relation":[91],"class_list":["post-4668","ccna_publication","type-ccna_publication","status-publish","hentry","studies-relation-sexe-et-genre"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
