Women and Health, Third Edition, Volume One offers a comprehensive exploration of health issues affecting women of all ages, from adolescence to maturity. Unlike other books that focus solely on reproductive health, this volume adopts a truly international perspective, addressing a wide range of topics, including osteoporosis, breast cancer, other cancers, domestic violence, sexually transmitted diseases, occupational hazards, eating disorders, heart disease, chronic illnesses, substance abuse, and societal and behavioral influences. Additionally, the book delves into the health of mid-life and older women, emphasizing the impact of genetics, sex, and gender on health, offering valuable insights for clinicians and health research scientists.
