Abstract

AbstractINTRODUCTIONWe examined whether sex modifies the association between APOE ε2 and cognitive decline in two independent samples.METHODSWe used observational data from cognitively unimpaired non‐Hispanic White (NHW) and non‐Hispanic Black (NHB) adults. Linear mixed models examined interactive associations of APOE genotype (ε2 or ε4 carrier vs. ε3/ε3) and sex on cognitive decline in NHW and NHB participants separately.RESULTSIn both Sample 1 (N = 9766) and Sample 2 (N = 915), sex modified the association between APOE ε2 and cognitive decline in NHW participants. Specifically, relative to APOE ε3/ε3, APOE ε2 protected against cognitive decline in men but not women. Among APOE ε2 carriers, men had slower decline than women. Among APOE ε3/ε3 carriers, cognitive trajectories did not differ between sexes. There were no sex‐specific associations of APOE ε2 with cognition in NHB participants (N = 2010).DISCUSSIONIn NHW adults, APOE ε2 may protect men but not women against cognitive decline.Highlights We studied sex‐specific apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε2 effects on cognitive decline. In non‐Hispanic White (NHW) adults, APOE ε2 selectively protects men against decline. Among men, APOE ε2 was more protective than APOE ε3/ε3. In women, APOE ε2 was no more protective than APOE ε3/ε3. Among APOE ε2 carriers, men had slower decline than women. There were no sex‐specific APOE ε2 effects in non‐Hispanic Black (NHB) adults.
