Dementia has become the leading cause of death for women in Australia, yet it remains a topic rarely discussed. In a recent episode of The Aging Project, host Shelley Craft spoke with Professor Ralph Martins, AO, one of the world’s foremost Alzheimer’s researchers, to explore what’s really happening in our brains as we age.

For many women, memory changes during perimenopause can raise questions: Is this normal, or could it signal something more serious?

This vital conversation sheds light on the unique risk factors women face and highlights the latest advancements in testing and treatment, offering essential insight for anyone approaching menopause.
