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.
