[Sex-dependent therapeutic success in therapy of aphasia in the elderly].
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.
