Description

This book highlights the needs and healthcare concerns of women in their midlife.

Women, in their middle ages, are often overlooked by medical practitioners.

From the end of childbearing to old age, approximately ages 40 to 65, their health needs are complex and changing.

This is a time of challenge and opportunity when the physician and woman working collaboratively can change her health and future.

Midlife healthcare is far more than hormones. Healthy behaviours such as good nutrition and exercise can be promoted that will result in lower risk and sometimes improved care of heart disease, hypertension and diabetes.

Adequate screening and treatment can prevent diseases and complications.

The burgeoning literature on allopathic and complementary medicine is critically evaluated and compared to established medical care.

Written by 20 primary care physicians, this book will help family practitioners provide the best possible healthcare for these women.
