New report: Women and Dementia
Alzheimer Association Mauritius

Dear friends,

We’re pleased to inform you of a brand new Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) report, Women and Dementia: A global research review, which will launch this Friday.

The purpose of this report is to understand the main issues affecting women in relation to dementia from an international perspective. The report examines the effect of gender on three specific groups: women living with dementia; women caring for people with dementia in a professional caring role; women undertaking an informal caregiving role for someone with dementia. The report also focuses on cross-cutting issues, including factors affecting women in low and middle income countries (LMICs); family structures and kinship; and the effects of migration.

Please find an embargoed copy of the report and a press release, which are not to be circulated until Friday 5 June at 00:01 (UK time). We kindly ask that you respect this embargo with media and any other external parties. From Friday morning, you will find an online copy of the report here: www.alz.co.uk/women-and-dementia

We would like to thank everyone involved in developing the report. We hope this will help your advocacy work in your countries, and if you have any questions or would like any assistance with media and press activity please do let us know. ADI will bring the report to the attention of the appropriate persons within the United Nations and World Health Organization.

Best wishes,

Marc
