- Summary:
- Women and Health addresses health issues affecting women of all ages -- adolescence through maturity. This comprehensive reference goes far beyond other books which concentrate only on reproductive health, and has a truly international perspective. The evolution of women's health as a discipline is reflected in the breadth and depth of the book's 100 chapters. They present in-depth reviews of key issues ranging from osteoporosis to cancer, domestic violence, sexually transmitted diseases, occupational hazards, eating disorders, heart disease, substance abuse, and societal and behavioral influences on health.
