Investigating sex-specific influences of gut microbiome on Alzheimer’s disease (SIGMA)
Women are twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer’s disease, particularly in later life. While hormonal differences between biological sexes have been suggested as a potential explanation for this disparity, the exact reasons remain unclear. Recently, the gut microbiome has emerged as a key area of interest in Alzheimer’s research due to its role in disease progression and observed differences between males and females.
