Alzheimer’s Research UK report reveals dementia hits women hardest in Alzheimer's Research UK, 8th March 2015

Excerpt:
"Alzheimer’s Research UK’s report highlights the huge toll of dementia on women in the UK, showing:

Over 500,000 people with dementia – 61% – are women
Women in their 60s are almost twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease over the rest of their lives as they are to develop breast cancer
Dementia is the leading cause of death for women in the UK, accounting for 12% of women’s deaths in 2013
Between 60 and 70% of all unpaid dementia carers are women, and women are more than twice as likely to provide intensive, 24-hour care than men
Female carers report feeling less supported than their male counterparts."
