My guess is that in their study, other demography didn't show up in the results. Now why is that would be interesting.

This is why all medications for "varicose veins" are marketed only to women: it's not that women are more vein (ow that pun) but rather that they're much more likely to have the inadequate lymphatic flow that leads to veinous over-pressure and sclerotization. The lymphatic system clears blood-borne toxins from the blood, and from organs and interstitial spaces. (You can think of it as projections of the liver, sucking crud toward itself.) So, if women's lymphatic systems tend to work less well on average, they'll be more susceptible to the build-up of such toxins on average—including in organs like the brain.
