Abstract
As we approach the year 2000, women's health has emerged as both a powerful political platform and a dynamic public health issue. It has long been recognized that women have worse health than men, despite the fact that women live longer. Overall, women have more acute symptoms, chronic conditions, and short- and long-term disabilities resulting from health problems. Some diseases are unique to women—ovarian or uterine cancers, for example—whereas other diseases and conditions, such as osteoporosis, affect women disproportionately ( (1) Report of the NIH: Opportunities for Research on Women's Health Summary Report. Sept. 1992. Google Scholar ).
