SUMMARY:Menopause Mindfulness: A Personal Toolkit for Menopause Preparedness
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 1.3 million women in the United States transition into menopause each year. During the menopause transition (perimenopause)\, the body undergoes hormonal changes\, characterized by a significant decrease in estrogen. This change typically begins to occur in a woman’s late 40s or 50s\, and can last up to 10 or 20 years. However\, some individuals may experience menopause early due to certain medical conditions or surgical procedures. Menopause\, itself\, is defined as the point in time 12 months after a woman’s last menstrual cycle. \nEstrogen depletion can cause a variety of vasomotor symptoms\, such as hot flashes\, brain fog\, and fatigue\, as well as genital and urinary symptoms\, such as vaginal dryness and urinary incontinence. Postmenopausal women have increased risks of other health conditions\, such as cardiovascular disease\, osteoporosis\, skin issues\, cognitive decline\, and insomnia. Menopausal symptoms and experiences vary widely from person to person. Raising awareness and improving access to information about menopause can help reduce stigma\, dispel myths\, and better prepare women and their health care providers to address potential challenges during this stage in their lives. \nSWHR is hosting a series of webinars to share educational information about the impact of menopause on women’s health. The events will discuss how to improve health outcomes through recognizing and addressing symptoms\, comorbidities\, treatment options\, and barriers to accessing quality care\, while highlighting the diverse experiences of women during and after the menopause transition. \n  \nThe SWHR Menopause Mindfulness series includes: \n\nCalls for Research Funding and Addressing Stigma Related to Menopause Congressional Briefing (October 26\, 2021)\nEmbracing the Change of My Midlife (February 16\, 2022)\nA Personal Toolkit for Menopause Preparedness (July 14\, 2022)\nUnderstanding the Many Paths to Menopause (August 11\, 2022)\nLiving Your Best Work-Life through the Menopause Transition (September 8\, 2022)

SUMMARY:Taking Heed of Alzheimer’s Disease: Recognizing and Responding to a Coming Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias is a growing crisis. The number of Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease is growing quickly\, with the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s expected to more than double by 2050. \nOf the approximately 5.8 million people in the United States who have Alzheimer’s disease\, two-thirds of them are women\, and clear racial and ethnic disparities exist in both prevalence and incidence. Further\, women have a 30% higher risk of dying from Alzheimer’s disease than men\, and women disproportionately serve as Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers\, which has implications for their work and home life and mental health. \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR)\, UsAgainstAlzheimer’s\, and the National Alliance for Caregiving hosted a national webinar and congressional briefing to discuss Alzheimer’s disease and its disproportionate impact on women\, and in particular women of color\, as well as its health\, social\, and economic toll on both patients and caregivers. During this briefing\, panelists provided insight into why Alzheimer’s disease must remain at the forefront of federal research efforts\, discuss Alzheimer’s disease’s effect on women as both patients and caregivers\, and share how policy changes could affect outcomes. \n*This event is widely attended and relevant to official duties.
