Explanation

Statistical studies show that approximately 1 in 6 women who live to at least 55 years will develop Alzheimer's disease. Women are at higher risk than men for Alzheimer's, partly due to longer life expectancy and possible hormonal factors. The 1 in 6 figure is a commonly cited statistic for women's risk.
