Study reveals men's brains shrink faster than women with age, shares what it means for Alzheimer's risk
A recent study found that men's brains shrink faster than women's with age, particularly in the cortex, which affects cognitive skills. While women's brains lose volume selectively, the cortex remains stable until later life. Although women are more vulnerable to Alzheimer's, brain shrinkage may be part of normal aging rather than a direct indicator of disease. Further research is needed.
