Reviews

Such a mind-expanding volume as this can be read by any professional involved with women's health and of course our women patients themselves... this 5-star volume should be required reading for everyone who has any association with and concern for women and their health. Journal of the British Menopause Society This work presents comprehensive women's health information in a most welcome fashion ... Practitioners with a strong interest in epidemiology will find the book quite fascinating. Doody's Journal This book is a fountain of wisdom with a world view of evidence-based data on women's health past, present and future. Family Practice, Vol 20, No 3 This book is another fine example of the application of both individual and population-level course thinking ... the book is comprehensive, intellectually stimulating, and well organized, and offers a wealth of resources on life course approaches to women's health. I highly recommend it as a most valuable addition to any epidemiological library. International Journal of Epidemiology
