Women's Health & Longevity
Why Attend?
Historically, women have been underrepresented in medical research, leading to significant gaps in understanding their unique health needs. Clinical trials often excluded women, resulting in treatments primarily tailored to men, despite differences in biology. This has impacted areas like cardiovascular health, where women’s symptoms and responses differ, and reproductive health, which remains underfunded and understudied. Women are also disproportionately affected by autoimmune diseases and aging-related conditions like osteoporosis and cognitive decline, yet research often overlooks these issues. The lack of diversity in studies further compounds health inequities, particularly for women from underrepresented backgrounds. Closing these gaps is essential to developing tailored treatments, improving longevity outcomes, and ensuring equitable healthcare for all.
