Two out of three people living with Alzheimer’s dementia are women, and this striking disparity cannot be explained by longevity alone.

In this episode of Neurokrish Immersion, we summarize a powerful webinar by the Asian Society Against Dementia, delivered by Professor Eef Hogervorst, Professor of Biological Psychology at Loughborough University, UK, and chaired by Professor Linda Lam of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The episode explores how hormonal transitions, especially menopause, cardiovascular health, lifestyle, education, sleep, and stress shape dementia risk across a woman’s lifespan. From estradiol’s neuroprotective role to the nuanced timing of hormone replacement therapy, this conversation reframes dementia prevention as a lifelong, personalized strategy for women.
