"Age is a risk factor for Alzheimer's - but so is being a woman

Journalist Christina Pirskanen at 20 Minuten discusses the gender gap in medicine with CEO, Dr Antonella Santuccione Chadha, particularly focusing on Alzheimer’s disease. It highlights that being a woman is a significant risk factor for Alzheimer’s, alongside aging.

Dr. Santuccione-Chadha explains that women are often underrepresented in medical research, leading to gaps in understanding how diseases and treatments affect them differently.

Our Foundation is raising awareness about these gender differences in neurological diseases through our global Women’s Quota campaign.
