Speech audiometry testing detected a higher prevalence of hearing impairment than use of a self-reported questionnaire and was associated with poor self-rated health history of diabetes and cognitive impairment among past users of alcohol and among men with low levels of education The association between hearing deficit and depressive symptomatology was confirmed only with self-reported hearing impairment

Geriatr Gerontol Int 2013 May 19 Rate of cognitive decline in relation to sex after 60 years-of-age A systematic review Ferreira L Ferreira Santos-Galduroacutez R Ferri CP Fernandes Galduroacutez JC

Some studies have shown differences in specific cognitive ability domains between the sexes at 60 years-of-age However is important to analyze whether the rate of cognitive decline is also similar between the sexes after this age The present study examined previously published literature hellip A systematic review was carried out hellip most of the studies showed that this rate is similar between the sexes until the age of 80 years It is unclear whether sex influences the rate of cognitive decline after the age of 80 years The present review observed that sex does not determine the rate of cognitive decline between 60 and 80 years-of-age The contextual and cultural factors that involve men and women might determine a distinct decline between them rather than sex alone

J Womens Health (Larchmt) 2012 Oct21(10)1018-23 Carter CL Resnick EM Mallampalli M KalbarczykA Sex and gender differences in Alzheimers disease recommendations for future research

Alzheimers disease (AD) disproportionately affects women in both prevalence and severity however the biologic mechanisms underlying these sex differences are not fully understood Sex differences in the brain such as in brain anatomy age-related declines in brain volume and brain glucose metabolism have been documented and may be important in understanding AD etiology

bull Ipoacusia decadimento cognitivo ed invecchiamento sono condizioni correlate tra loro

bull Differenze di genere esistono e possono variamente combinarsi in relazione a comorbiditagrave e fattori di rischio che giocano un ruolo molto importante

bull Sebbene i dati disponibili in letteratura non siano sempre univoci non sembrano esserci differenze di genere per quanto riguarda il decadimento cognitivo

bull Lrsquo Alzheimer ha una maggiore prevalenza nel sesso femminile tuttavia i meccanismi alla base di tali differenze non sono del tutto noti

bull Altri tipi di demenza sono piugrave frequenti nella popolazione maschile tuttavia i dati in letteratura sono piuttosto discordanti

Speech audiometry testing detected a higher prevalence of hearing impairment than use of a self-reported questionnaire and was associated with poor self-rated health history of diabetes and cognitive impairment among past users of alcohol and among men with low levels of education The association between hearing deficit and depressive symptomatology was confirmed only with self-reported hearing impairment

Some studies have shown differences in specific cognitive ability domains between the sexes at 60 years-of-age However is important to analyze whether the rate of cognitive decline is also similar between the sexes after this age The present study examined previously published literature hellip A systematic review was carried out hellip most of the studies showed that this rate is similar between the sexes until the age of 80 years It is unclear whether sex influences the rate of cognitive decline after the age of 80 years The present review observed that sex does not determine the rate of cognitive decline between 60 and 80 years-of-age The contextual and cultural factors that involve men and women might determine a distinct decline between them rather than sex alone

Alzheimers disease (AD) disproportionately affects women in both prevalence and severity however the biologic mechanisms underlying these sex differences are not fully understood Sex differences in the brain such as in brain anatomy age-related declines in brain volume and brain glucose metabolism have been documented and may be important in understanding AD etiology
