Alzheimer’s Society has published ‘Why is dementia different for women?’, an exploration of the differences in dementia risk between men and women. 

They look at why women have a higher risk of dementia, why women have different dementia risk factors – including those related to female hormones and menopause – and the role of research in answering currently unanswered questions about women’s’ risk of dementia.
