Women live longer than men and one-third of the female population
in Western societies is aged over 50. Postmenopausal health
problems arising not only from ageing, but also from oestrogen
deficiency, are therefore 'hot topics' for medical professionals.
The third in a series published on behalf of the British Menopause
Society, this book is authored by an international team of
specialists who work in women's health during and postmenopause,
and discusses how specific postmenopausal health problems are
thought to arise and what are today's most promising treatment
options. The book is split into three sections: Section 1:
Determinants of disease Covers osteoporosis, cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, dementia, breast, gynaecological and bowel
cancers. Section 2: Common conditions Covers the pathology, effects
of ageing and oestrogen levels, symptoms, impact on women's lives,
who and how to investigate, drug and non-drug therapies in the
following conditions: dementia, myocardial infarction, stroke,
osteoporosis, arthritis, incontinence. Section 3: Care of an ageing
population Caring at home, providing residential care. Menopause,
postemenopause and Ageing provides a concise, easy-to-read guide
for the multidisciplinary team involved in the management of health
problems after the menopause. This book will be a valued resource
for gynaecologists, general physicians, geriatricians, oncologists,
cardiologists and orthopaedic surgeons, general practitioners,
nurse specialists, medical students and all of those involved in
providing healthcare to the menopausal woman.
