Hormone Therapy to Stave Off Alzheimer's Disease? | October, 2010

California's first lady Maria Shriver recently issued a new report in conjunction with the Alzheimer's association and it's official: Alzheimer's is a woman's disease. It's estimated that two-thirds of all Alzheimer's sufferers are women. While it's still not clear as to why the disease is more prevalent among women, doctors and scientists agree that more than likely, several factors are to blame. Shriver mentioned that scientists are currently looking into a possible link between Alzheimer's disease and estrogen decline.

It was recently discovered that Alzheimer's disease takes 20 years to develop, before a diagnosis can be made. Being that most women suffering from Alzheimer's are over the age of 65, it would only seem logical that the onset likely occurs between the age of 45 and 50 - the average age-range that women enter menopause. Menopause is notorious for estrogen loss and while a cure for Alzheimer's may not exist today, scientists believe that hormone therapy could help stave off the disease.

"We need to find a cure for this disease; otherwise it will bankrupt every family in the country and will bankrupt us as a nation," warns Shriver in an interview with ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer.
