SUMMARY:VCU Health of Women 2024 |  Emerging Topics in Women’s Health: Autoimmune Disease Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) is dedicated to promoting research on biological sex differences and increasing awareness of health conditions and diseases that disproportionately\, differently\, or exclusively affect women. Sex and gender influences in autoimmune disorders are undeniable\, with women representing more than 80% of the 23.5 million individuals in the United States living with autoimmune diseases. SWHR has taken on the charge to address persistent gaps in research\, health care\, and policies that could improve the lives of women living with these chronic inflammatory conditions. \nThis symposium discusses the impacts of autoimmune diseases on women’s health across the lifespan\, with special emphasis on pregnancy and maternal health\, caregiving/parenting children with autoimmune disease\, and the menopause transition. Panelists present strategies as to how research\, clinical\, and policy stakeholders can collaborate to address persistent research gaps\, disparities\, and unmet needs in autoimmune disease care. Attendees then engaged in Q&A with the panel to discuss approaches to improve autoimmune health outcomes for women across the lifespan. \n  \n\n\nFind more information about the VCU Health of Women 2024 event here.

SUMMARY:Future Directions in Menopause Research: Optimizing Midlife Health of Women Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:“The Future Directions in Menopause Research: Optimizing Midlife Health of Women Roundtable” is the launch event for NIH’s Women’s Health Roundtable Series on important women’s health topics as part of the White House Women’s Health Research Initiative. This series was developed as a recommended action in response to the Presidential Memorandum to bring attention to priority topics within the Department of Health and Human Services and disseminate information on federally supported research areas. The roundtable series will be led by NIH institute\, center\, and office leadership and will engage the research community and the public to bring greater awareness to female-specific health conditions (e.g.\, menopause and endometriosis)\, as well as diseases and conditions that predominantly affect women (e.g.\, autoimmune diseases)\, and present or progress differently in women (e.g.\, heart disease\, Alzheimer’s disease\, etc.). \nThis launch event will be hosted by the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) and the Office of Disease Prevention (ODP). This roundtable aims to inform and spark dialogue around the science on menopause and highlight NIH-supported work in the menopausal research domain. It also furthers initiatives outlined within the Executive Order on Advancing Women’s Health Research and Innovation to identify and explore gaps in women’s health and diseases and conditions that arise during women’s midlife and later years. \nPlease join to hear remarks from ORWH Director Janine Austin Clayton\, M.D.\, FARVO; NIH Director Monica M. Bertagnolli\, M.D.; and ODP Director David M. Murray\, Ph.D. Following these remarks will be a panel discussion on how NIH and the extramural community can galvanize research and charter new paths to address unanswered questions on women’s midlife health. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Osteoporosis: A Perspective for 2024
DESCRIPTION:In observance of National Women’s Health Week (NWHW) 2024 and National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention month\, the FDA Office of Women’s Health (OWH)\, will host a free virtual public webinar titled: Osteoporosis: A perspective for 2024 presented by Marcella Donovan Walker\, MD\, MS. \nStrong bones are essential to health and quality of life. Osteoporosis and fragility fractures are common and can be debilitating but there are steps that can be taken to help reduce the risk. Because osteoporosis is asymptomatic until the first clinical fracture\, many women do not realize they are at risk. This lecture will summarize the current approach to assessing bone health\, as well as preventing and treating osteoporosis with a focus on postmenopausal women. \nThe webinar offers continuing education (CME/CNE/CPE) credits and will be held virtually on the Zoom platform. Registrants will receive a link to attend the webinar after completing their registration. Live closed captioning will be available during the webinar. If you require additional accommodations\, please request them when completing your registration. \nA video recording of this webinar will be available on the OWH website a few weeks after the webinar ends. \nFor questions about this event please email OWHmeetings@fda.hhs.gov. \nRegister
