The Ludeman Family Center for Women' s Health Research (Ludeman Center) at the University of Colorado (cwhr@ucdenver.edu) organized its 4th National Conference at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO. The research presentations and discussions from the three-day October 2024 conference addressed sex differences across the life span with a focus on cardio-metabolism and mental health. Over one hundred thirty participants, including scientists, clinicians, policy makers, advocacy group leaders and federal agency representatives participated in the meeting. In this manuscript, we briefly summarize the conference scientific presentations made at the 2024 meeting which were organized into 3-day sessions as well as poster sessions.
