Did you know dementia affects women differently to men? And it’s important to understand why.
Around two-thirds of people living with dementia are women, and women make up the majority of unpaid careers supporting loved ones. Dementia is also the leading cause of death for women in the UK.
Biological and social factors contribute to this difference. Women’s longer life expectancy plays a role, but so do hormones, genetics, reproductive history, and decades of inequality in education, work, and healthcare - all of which can influence dementia risk.
We’re seeing progress. Conversations are shifting: dementia is no longer seen as an inevitable part of ageing, and research is helping us understand how to prevent, diagnose, and treat it earlier. Advances like blood test diagnostics and a stronger focus on dementia care and support mean a future where women are better protected is within reach.
We are inspired every day by the researchers, careers, and women living with dementia who are driving change - and we are hopeful that together, we can make a real difference.

Dementia is often described as progressing in three main stages.
This guide focuses on some of the common symptoms people may experience in the later stages of dementia. It’s important to remember that everyone’s experience is different, and symptoms can vary from person to person.
In the later stages, someone may need more support with daily tasks, communication, mobility, eating, and personal care. Changes can feel overwhelming, and it’s natural to want to understand what might happen next so you can prepare.
But while looking ahead can help with planning, the most important thing is supporting the person in the present moment - helping them feel safe, comfortable and cared for, and live as well as possible for as long as possible.
