A study published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia has identified a link between lower levels of unsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, and Alzheimer’s disease in women, according to researchers. The study found that women with Alzheimer’s had significantly lower levels of these protective fats compared to healthy women of the same age. Women account for two-thirds of the approximately 7 million Alzheimer’s cases in the United States, according to background data cited in the study.
Researchers analyzed blood samples from 841 participants in the ANMerge European cohort, screening for 700 different lipid markers. The study compared lipid profiles of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, and healthy controls. First author Asger Wretlind stated in a press release that the research detected biological differences in lipids between sexes in a large cohort, which has not been done before. The team aimed to understand whether lipid differences help explain women’s higher risk for Alzheimer’s, according to the study.
