    • Summary:"Women and Health is a comprehensive, up-to-date review of health issues that affect women of all ages - adolescence through maturity. It goes far beyond other books which concentrate only on reproductive health, and has a truly international perspective. Chapters cover 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. In addition, it addresses the influence of gender on conditions common to both sexes. Woman and Health is an invaluable resource for physicians, researchers, health care administrators, students, and others who desire the latest epidemiologic and clinical information on women's health issues."--Jacket.
