Alzheimer Europe has endorsed the European election manifesto of the European Institute of Women’s Health (EIWH) – “EU Manifesto for Women’s Health 2024”. The manifesto highlights that action must be taken to improve women’s health in Europe by integrating sex and gender in research, disaggregating data by sex, gender and age, and translating sex and gender differences into regulatory and healthcare practice. In addition, it calls on the EU must invest in a life course approach to health promotion and disease prevention. The manifesto further notes that the current approach is “one size fits all”, leaving many disadvantaged. As part of this, the EIWH calls for an EU Strategy for Women’s Health, as well as the creation of a Women’s Health Interest Group in the European Parliament to focus on women’s health issues and drive gender equity in health agenda in Europe.
