Description
Women and Health is a comprehensive reference which addresses health issues affecting women of all ages--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. Women and Health covers not only those conditions that are unique to or occur more frequently
in women, but also those that present differently or are treated differently in women.
Audience
Academic and government epidemiologists, public health workers and students, endocrinologists, obstetricians/gynocologists, internists, and other physicians specializing in women's health.
