With the publication in 1996 of "The Harvard Guide to Women's
Health," women seeking answers to questions about their health had
access to the combined expertise of physicians from three of the
world's most prestigious medical institutions: Harvard Medical
School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women's
Hospital. With complete information on women's health concerns,
physical and behavioral, this A to Z reference quickly became a
definitive resource, praised especially for its coverage of topics
not previously considered under the umbrella of women's health.
"The New Harvard Guide to Women's Health" reunites the authors to
bring a valued health reference up to date for a new
generation--and for those women who have come to rely on the
"Harvard Guide" and are now wondering what to do about their health
as they enter a new stage of life, asking questions like the
following: I've been on hormone replacement therapy. Should I stop?
How? Could this rash be lupus? I've been on the Pill. What is my
risk for stroke? Fat is bad, fat is good: What should I believe?
And what's left to eat? When does ordinary worry become chronic
anxiety? What screening tests do I need now?
In addition to revised recommendations reflecting the current
medical thinking on menopause and hormone replacement therapy, the
"New Harvard Guide" includes updated recommendations about cardiac
health and heart disease--the #1 killer of women in the United
States entries reflecting recent advances in the understanding and
treatment of autoimmune diseases better coverage of health concerns
throughout a woman's life span, from her first period to menopause
and beyond, with a new entry on perimenopauseexpanded nutritional
recommendations, including a unique chart of the U.S. government's
