It is also useful to other healthcare professionals, research specialists, and students who are interested in post-reproductive women's health.” (David E Rogers, Doody’s Book Reviews, March 14, 2020) From the Back Cover Supported by the latest scientific data, this book serves as a guide to the clinical assessment of women’s health during the second half of life (post-reproductive years), including approaches to the management of the most frequent age-related diseases and disorders and the most recent advances in treatment.
