Audio: Spanish

Synopsis

This CME-accredited course offers a practical, case-based exploration of how sex, gender, and sociocultural factors shape cognitive resilience and influence the early presentation of Alzheimer’s disease. Through real-world clinical scenarios, the program illustrates how family dynamics, gender roles, linguistic barriers, and life experiences can mask symptoms, delay diagnosis, or complicate clinical interpretation. The course reviews the biological and psychosocial mechanisms underlying cognitive resilience—including biomarker differences, neuroinflammation, protective factors, and life stressors—and provides clinicians with tools to integrate these concepts into everyday practice to improve early detection and assessment in diverse patient populations.

Objectives

  • Examine, through case-based examples, how sex, gender, and sociocultural context influence cognitive resilience and the earliest clinical manifestations of Alzheimer’s disease
  • Understand the biological and psychosocial mechanisms that contribute to cognitive resilience and how factors such as stress, education, and life roles shape vulnerability and progression.
  • Apply a case-based reasoning approach to enhance diagnostic accuracy in diverse populations, incorporating strategies to identify resilience, detect subtle decline, and address cultural, linguistic, or caregiver-related barriers.
