Samenvatting

Women and Health, 3rd Edition, addresses health issues affecting women of all ages from adolescence through maturity. Extending far beyond other books on women’s health, which tend to focus on reproductive health alone, this book covers key issues ranging from osteoporosis to breast cancer, 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 incorporate issues that affect women across the life course with a special emphasis on the health of mid-life and older women. Changes in the field of women’s health since the first and second editions, for example, in genetics and the impact of sex and gender on health, are represented with the latest scientific findings and controversies.
This book provides a comprehensive compendium of the epidemiology of health conditions affecting women internationally and over the life course for the lay reader, clinician, and health research scientist.
