Alzheimers Dement

Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Despite evidence that Alzheimer's disease (AD) related pathological changes occur earlier in women than men, women are diagnosed later. To address this care disparity, the Evaluating Memory as Part of Women's Routine Care (EMPOWER) program was established to integrate cognitive screening into routine gynecological well-woman visits. Recent work has demonstrated the feasibility of conducting subjective cognitive screening at the well-woman visit.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Mild cognitive impairment, a precursor to Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD), is widely underdiagnosed. Routine screenings are key for identifying older adults with emerging neurodegenerative disease. As women have increased risk of ADRD and often use their gynecologist as their primary care physician, the annual well woman visit offers a critical opportunity to screen older women for ADRD.

Objective: Contraceptive method type matters to sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention, but contraceptive counseling often emphasizes method efficacy and the benefits of "forgettable" methods, including long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). We aimed to explore associations between prescription method type and annual STI testing and investigated whether these associations relate to annual well-woman visits.
Methods: We constructed a panel of 20,949 young women (<25) enrolled in Delaware's Medicaid program from 2012 through 2019.

Routine health care visits offer the opportunity to screen older adults for symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Many women see their gynecologist as their primary health care provider. Given this unique relationship, the Women's Preventive Services Initiative and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology advocate for integrated care of women at all ages.

This study explores the association between health system changes over the last decade and women's preventive care utilization in Illinois. A cross-sectional analysis using Illinois Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from 2012-2020 among women aged 21-75 (n=21,258) examined well-woman visit (WWV) receipt and breast and cervical cancer screening overall and over several time periods. There was an increase in the prevalence of receiving a WWV for Illinois women overall from 2012-2020.
