TABLE 6.

Recommendations for future research of sex and gender differences in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD)

Recommendations
  • Diagnostic assessments of ADRD should consider availability and access to health care (type, frequency) across the lifespan to contextualize prevalence and incidence across countries.

  • Gender and sex differences should be examined through multidimensional models that incorporate measures of health disparities, disability, stereotypes, and stigma/bias.

  • The lack of discussion of sex and gender in underrepresented and underserved populations reflects the inadequacy of the research on these populations, not their lack of existence or importance.

  • There is a need for more research examining the intersectionality of race/ethnicity, sex/gender, and sociocultural factors in AD risk factors and clinical presentations in diverse populations worldwide.

  • More culturally appropriate training to enhance strategies for engaging diverse populations in dementia research and care.

  • Development of cross‐cultural valid and reliable measures to gather data.
