  • Title: [Sex-dependent therapeutic success in therapy of aphasia in the elderly].
    Author: Ritterfeld U, Oster P.
    Journal: Z Gerontol; 1988; 21(5):282-4. PubMed ID: 2467450.
    Abstract:
    In a retrospective analysis of elderly patients with aphasia who had had a stroke, the success of therapy was sex-related. In the women treated, significantly better results could be achieved despite the fact that on average the women were older, lived in worse social conditions and had a shorter course of therapy than the men. The main reason for our findings may be sex-related role behaviour.
