Women account for almost two-thirds of Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases, yet evidence significantly less clinical benefit from recently deployed amyloid-lowering therapies. To close this disparity gap, there is an urgent need to identify biological drivers of sex differences in the manifestation and clinical response to AD therapeutics. A recent review of multi-omic studies of AD reported >75% of studies showed female-specific changes at the molecular level (vs.

University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria.
Background: Aluminium chloride, an environmental toxicant induces neurotoxicity by increasing anxiety, causing cognitive deficit and memory impairment due to its effects on the hippocampus. Omega-3 oil has been shown to improve cognition in neurologic disorders.
Method: Forty adult female rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 10).

Aging Research Center, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background: Dementia is strongly linked to increased care use, but the use of formal and informal care throughout dementia journey remains unclear.
Method: Within a population-based cohort study, we identified 240 older adults (aged ≥78 years) with who developed CIND and 155 with incident dementia. These participants were matched to 480 and 310 cognitively intact participants, respectively, and their formal and informal care use and care hours were compared with a control groups before and after diagnosis of cognitive disorders.

Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Background: Education is a recognized modifiable dementia risk factor. To boost cognitive reserve and reduce dementia risk in Brazil's vulnerable populations, we conceived a literacy program (PROAME trial) targeting low-educated adults, aiming to explore how executive function and individual differences influence program effectiveness.
Method: We screened 130 adults, with 108 meeting enrollment criteria.

University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS, USA.
Background: Evidence in adults without Down syndrome (DS) suggests that exercise during mid-life improves cognitive function and decreases risk of later life dementia. Studies supporting this relationship in adults with DS are limited. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in cognitive function after a 12-mo exercise intervention in adults with DS without dementia.
