Surprising lack of sex differences in normal cognitive aging in twins.

International journal of aging & human development - 1 Jan 2006

Finkel Deborah, Reynolds Chandra A, Berg Stig, Pedersen Nancy L

Abstract excerpt

Sex differences in the etiology of normal cognitive functioning in aging remain largely unexplored. We conducted an investigation of genetic and environmental contributions to sex differences in level of cognitive performance and rate of decline in the Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of Aging (SATSA) (Finkel & Pedersen, 2004) data set. Behavioral genetic parameterizations of a latent growth curve model were fit to...
