About the SessionMidlife is a critical period when a woman&#39;s long-term cognitive trajectory is most responsive to proactive intervention, yet it remains one of the most under-addressed opportunities in cognitive health. While women carry nearly two-thirds of the overall dementia burden, prevention discussions frequently start decades after the most effective window for intervention has closed.This presentation delivers a clear, evidence-based framework for earlier action. Learn why the menopause transition serves as a distinct window of brain and vascular vulnerability, how key biomarkers impact cognitive aging long before memory changes appear, and how to practicalize multi-domain lifestyle changes and hormone therapy discussions.
