And then this ties to estrogen, HRT is known to reduce the risk of dementia/AD (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10480684/).

PEMT (phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase) is what makes choline in the body, but it depends on estrogen.(https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3020773/)
