Sex differences in MRI findings could not be attributed to recognized risk factors for brain aging (age, body mass index, APOE-e4 genotype) or to intervention assignment. Women had better cognitive test scores than men on average but brain MRI measures did not explain these sex differences. Conclusions: In a large cohort of older overweight or obese adults with T2DM, women had indicators of better brain health than men, but these sex differences did not account for better cognitive functioning in women compared with men.
