Rebecca M. Edelmayer, Ph.D guided me through topics on air pollution, education and Transgender risks for Alzheimer's.
While research is still emerging, transgender individuals may face unique dementia risks due to factors such as hormone therapy, social stressors, and barriers to healthcare access. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could potentially impact cognitive health, although the extent is uncertain. Discrimination, stigma, and lack of culturally competent care may exacerbate stress, increasing dementia risk. Addressing these disparities through inclusive healthcare policies and support networks is crucial for mitigating dementia risks in the transgender community.
