The current Alzheimer’s and dementia evidence base has insufficiently examined differences in epidemiology and experience for women compared to men. Women’s brain health is both understudied and underfunded compared to men’s brain health. Moreover, women are disproportionately affected by neurological conditions: almost two-thirds of people with Alzheimer’s are women, only 12% of the 2019 NIH funding went to women-focused research, and more than 3 in 5 Alzheimer’s caregivers are women. Understanding and ameliorating these disparities is imperative to establish an effective and equitable healthcare system.
