From Inside the eBook
Introduction Jo Ann Rosenfeld The middle ages of women are an often forgotten time and the women are often overlooked in healthcare. These ages are a time of change, stress, and opportunity. Menopause is not a disease, a definite time, or a curse. Women can make lifestyle changes that will profoundly affect their future health, comfort, and length of life. The social variations and changes in this age group are immense.
Book Description
Middle-aged women are often overlooked by medical practitioners even though their health needs are complex and changing, from the end of childbearing to old age, approximately ages 40 to 65. This book highlights the needs and healthcare concerns of women in their midlife--a time of challenge and opportunity when physician and patient need to work collaboratively. Written by twenty primary care physicians, the volume will help family practitioners provide the best possible healthcare in a much needed area.

Review
'This book does what it says on the cover, it explores all areas of women's health not only contraception and the menopause but other health problems too.' Practice Nurse
'... an excellent source of information for those working in women' health.' Practice Nurse
'The ages from 40 to 65 are a stage in women's lives that medical literature does not often focus on. This book groups the perimenopausal years together in a way that makes clinical sense, and it covers a wide variety of the healthcare issues facing the carers these women will encounter ... Keeping up to date on evidence based guidelines for cancer screening can be a daunting task. This book does a good job reviewing the current research and explaining the latest guidelines.' The British Medical Journal
