Should sex-based norms be the norm?: Understanding how the female advantage in verbal memory may impact the diagnosis and trajectory of Alzheimer’s Disease
Project Description
NIA – P30 AG010161-28
This project will leverage cognitive trajectory and biomarker data from the Rush Memory and Aging Project to test whether applying a sex adjustment to the normative data and clinical cut-scores of verbal memory tests will improve diagnostic precision and help identify and treat AD in women at an earlier disease stage. This study is funded by the Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center National with an award from the National Institutes on Aging.
