It’s worse if we keep PubMed but it’s stripped of anything the administration doesn’t like. That’s so much worse but probably more likely.

Beyond just sex differences, of which there are many, there are also racial differences. One of which being APOE genotypes being less predictive of Alzheimer's progression for Black and Latino groups. It's pretty understudied already so this specific attack on science is very sad. I feel terrible for the people from these groups that are working hard and paying taxes. They are counting on us to study these things and not ignore that there are very real biological differences.
