Women and Health addresses health issues affecting women of all ages — from adolescence through maturity. It goes far beyond other books on this topic, which concentrate only on reproductive health, and has a truly international perspective. It covers key issues ranging from osteoporosis to breast cancer and other cancers, domestic violence, sexually transmitted diseases, occupational hazards, eating disorders, heart disease and other chronic illnesses, substance abuse, and societal and behavioral influences on health.In this third edition of Women and Health, the chapters address health issues that affect women across the life course with a special emphasis on the health of mid-life and older women. The field of women’s health has matured since the first and second edition, such as genetics and the impact of sex and gender on health, providing the opportunity to capture the latest scientific findings and controversies. The book provides a comprehensive compendium of the epidemiology of health conditions affecting women over the life course for the lay reader, clinician, and health research scientist.
