Background: Women are at increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared to men. Given research supporting up to 40% of AD cases as preventable with lifestyle modification, midlife represents a critical time of life to intervene on dementia risks; however, little research has examined women-specific presentation of risk at midlife, or how menopause staging may impact risk presentation. The aim of this study was to assess dementia risk profiles in women at risk for AD due to family history, including self-reported and lab-based modifiable risks, and to determine the role of menopause on risk presentation.

Background: Use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2 inhibitors) falls short of their cardiorenal protective benefits. Patient and provider-level barriers hinder the adoption of these life-saving medications. Innovative practices to provide primary care providers (PCP) with added clinical-decision support via a dedicated remote interdisciplinary diabetes rounds (IDR) team could promote SGLT-2 inhibitor selection.
