Supported by the latest scientific data, this book serves as a guide to the clinical assessment of women's health during the second half of life (post-reproductive years), including approaches to the management of the most frequent age-related diseases and disorders and the most recent advances in treatment. In addition, it discusses preventive aspects of healthcare in post-reproductive women, identifying lifestyle measures to enhance healthy aging. By highlighting research gaps, it promotes the development of quick and easy-to-use assessment tools and predictive markers of age-related co-morbidities. As such, the book is a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians alike.
"This book offers useful, up-to-date, and well-referenced information to practitioners who care for middle-aged to older women, including gynecologists, family physicians, internal medicine and endocrine specialists, and those practicing geriatrics. It is also useful to other healthcare professionals, research specialists, and students who are interested in post-reproductive women's health." (David E Rogers, Doody's Book Reviews, March 14, 2020)
