Women with fewer reproductive years may be at increased risk of dementia. Researchers say they found a link between dementia and women who start their period later or go through menopause earlier. More than 6,000 women filled out the survey. They were asked when they had their first menstrual cycle and when they went through menopause. The researchers calculated the number of reproductive years for each participant. Nearly half of all participants later develop dementia. Those who had their first menstrual cycle at 16 or older had a greater risk of dementia than those who had their first menstrual cycle at 13. Women who went through natural menopause before the age of 47 had a greater risk of dementia than those who went through the change later. Since women are 50% more likely to develop dementia than men, it is important to study risk factors specific to women that could lead us to potential intervention.
Question 1: 题干为：本文的主要话题是什么？文章主要讨论了女性的生育年限与患痴呆症的风险相关。那些生育年限短的女性，患痴呆症的风险较高。由于女性患痴呆症的可能性比男性高50%，因此研究女性特有的风险因素对于寻找潜在的干预措施非常重要。因此D选项Women’s reproductive years may affect their health.（女性的生育年限可能影响她们的健康。）正确。
第2题:
Question 2: 题干为：根据文章，什么会增加女性患痴呆的风险？由Women who went through natural menopause before the age of 47 had a greater risk of dementia than those who went through the change later.（在47岁之前经历自然绝经的女性比后来经历绝经的女性患痴呆的风险更大。）以及Those who had their first menstrual cycle at 16 or older had a greater risk of dementia than those who had their first menstrual cycle at 13.（首次月经在16岁或更大时的女性，比在13岁时首次月经的女性患痴呆的风险更大。）可知，女性较短的生育年限（如较晚的月经初潮或较早的绝经）会增加患痴呆的风险。因此B选项Fewer reproductive years.（较少的生育年限。）正确。
第3题:
Question 3: 题干为：男女在痴呆方面有什么区别？由Since women are 50% more likely to develop dementia than men（因为女性患痴呆的可能性比男性高50%）可知，女性比男性更容易患上痴呆。因此A选项Women are 50% more likely to develop dementia than men.（女性患痴呆症的可能性比男性高50%。）正确。
