Congrats to Mandy Fraser, who was the first person to correctly answer B. Brain aneurysm rupture occurs more frequently in men than in women as FALSE. The incidence of brain aneurysm rupture in women is actually 50% higher than in men. Studies have suggested that drops in estrogen levels that occur during menstruation and especially at menopause may weaken artery walls. This could potentially lead to estrogen treatments being used in the future to prevent aneurysms in women.
