Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali - The Impact of Dementia on Women

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog, Kam explores the disproportionate impact of dementia on women, examining both biological and social factors that heighten their risk. She discusses the underrepresentation of women in dementia research, the exclusion of females from clinical trials, and the additional caregiving burdens placed on women. The blog makes a clear case for action – not just to understand why women are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s, but also to ensure women researchers are better supported, retained, and promoted.
