Did you know that men show different signs of Dementia than women? Studies show that gender affects the rate and degree people experience symptoms like:

• Verbal skills:
  Men with dementia retained verbal fluency, the ability to correctly perform naming tasks, and the ability to successfully perform delayed recall of words longer than women with dementia.
• Subjective memory complaints:
  Studies suggest that women experience memory impairment earlier in the course of their dementia than men.
• Depressive symptoms:
  Men that experience depressive symptoms have a higher risk of developing dementia than women.
• Rate of symptom progression:
  A recently published study from Duke University suggests that once the initial symptoms of dementia appear in men and women, they tend to progress at a faster rate in women compared to men. The data showed that the cognitive abilities of the female participants declined twice as fast as their male counterparts.
