    Unexpected spelling, but actually those are the key points of the article:

    1. Women get Alzheimer’s more than men, but mostly because they live longer.
    2. The gene that matters most affects more women than men.
    3. The jury is still out on how hormone therapy might relate to dementia.
    4. More research is needed before clinicians treat Alzheimer’s differently in women and men.
    5. The same lifestyle interventions are recommended in men and women – but the effects could be different.
