What is the key finding of the McGill University study regarding the link between a father's Alzheimer's and their children's risk?

This challenges the previous belief that women are more prone due to longer lifespans. The research involved brain scans and cognitive tests of 243 individuals with a family history of Alzheimer's but no cognitive symptoms.
