Women's Brains Are Sharper Than Men's In Old Age - New Study
Women's brains age better than men’s but their bodies do not
cope as well, research suggests. Even though female life expectancy has
increased over the past 20 years, elderly women spend less time with memory
problems than they did, a study shows.
The unexpected finding goes against most predictions, which
would expect rates of dementia to increase as people live for longer. The same
trend, however, was not seen among men, whose total time spent in a state of
‘mild cognitive impairment’ increased slightly.
