Idiotically, the story fails to mention that women get dementia more because they live significantly longer. Consequently, they have a lot more time to get it. The reason they are more likely to be caregivers in a relationship is because they remain healthier longer. Making dementia into a gender issue is one more example of healthcare bias.

In other news, Toyota drivers have to deal with old cars because their cars last so long.

Dementia is a tough thing, hopefully research can be conducted to improve or prevent it altogether. I don't take offense to the title for this reason, although I do think they could mention that the reason why less men get dementia is that more of them are dead by the time they reach the ages that it's common.
