Alzheimer’s and Men’s Health
by Lori Sciame November 17th, 2023 | Health Observance, Men's Health
Alzheimer's is a disease that causes the brain to shrink. In essence, the disease robs one of his ability to think clearly. An article in HealthDay Reporter by Denise Mann suggests that although Alzheimer's affects both men and women, the disease progresses differently in each sex. She states, "men seemed to have more problems with their thinking ability when diagnosed with Alzheimer's than their female counterparts did. What's more, men and women lost gray matter in different areas of their brain." While it's too early to tell why there is a difference between the sexes, one thing remains clear:
