| Women's Alzheimer's test needed as superior verbal skills mask onset of the disease Posted: 23 Jul 2018 08:39 AM PDT  An Alzheimer's test specifically for women should be developed after a new study found superior female verbal skills disguise the onset of the disease, scientists have said. Research in the US revealed doctors are less likely to diagnose Alzheimer's in women than in men. The imbalance means that female patients appear to deteriorate more quickly following diagnosis, when in fact they have already been suffering for some time. Women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer's, making up 65 per cent of patients in the UK. Researchers at the University of Illinois, Chicago said their study shows sex-specific tests should be developed. Currently verbal and memory tests are an important tool for diagnosing Alzheimer's. These can involve asking the patients to remember the name of a common object and repeat it a few minutes later, as well as asking them to draw the numbers on the face of a clock and a specified time. However, women in general typically score better in verbal tests, and the new research indicates they hang on to this ability even while dementia is taking hold. 65% of Alzheimer's patients are women Credit: Andrew Brookes/Getty Presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference, the trial of around 1,300 patients of both sexes showed that women scored better than men while blood tests showed the disease was at a moderate and low stage, but lost their advantage once it became more severe. Diagnosing Alzheimer's early can give patients the chance to undergo treatments capable of slowing down progression or even temporarily improving symptoms. Dr Pauline Maki, who led the research said: "These findings may help to explain why women show a more rapid decline across a wide range of cognitive abilities after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. "While female advantage may be functionally beneficial, it could mask early stages of Alzheimer's, resulting in a more severe burden of disease at the time of diagnosis, with more rapid derioration thereafter." At the same conference evidence was also presented suggesting that multiple childbirth can help protect women from Alzheimer's in later life. Analysis of nearly 15,000 women found those who had given birth to three or more children had a 12 per cent lower risk of dementia compared to women with one child. What are the early signs of dementia? Dr Tim Shakespeare, Research Information Manager at Alzheimer's Society, aid: "Women are disproportionately affected by dementia globally and women tend to have a better memory for things like lists and short stories – known as verbal memory - throughout their lives. "This study suggests that this stronger recall in women may mask early symptoms of dementia. Taking this into consideration could help identify dementia early on, so women don't slip through the dementia diagnosis net. "Research suggests that when we have new treatments, they will be more effective in the early stages. "A timely diagnosis also allows the person access to vital care and support. Which is why we have long campaigned for everyone to have equal access to a diagnosis, regardless of their gender race, age or postcode, and we will continue to build on our work with the Government to make sure this happens."
