Alzheimer's is the progressive mental deterioration that can occur in the middle or old age, having impacts on memory and cognitive function. In simple words, this disorder slowly destroys memory and thinking abilities and eventually the ability to carry out every day, simple tasks. One of the most concerning facts about this disease is that it disproportionately affects women.
Women stand at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s. While, to a certain extent, the fact that women live longer than men might be responsible for this, there are various other factors responsible for this issue.
