I understand that women get AD more than men simply because they live longer. Is this not true?

I think that was an early and somewhat naive understanding of why. I wouldn't say it is not true, but the 5 year lifespan difference resulting in 50% more cases of Alzheimer's in women seems an oversimplification.
