A Life Course Approach to Women's Health Summary

A Life Course Approach to Women's Health by Gita Mishra (Director, Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health and Professor of Life Course Epidemiology)

The second edition of A Life Course Approach to Women's Health is a timely addition to the literature, reflecting extraordinary gains in the evidence on women's health across the life course. This new edition provides an up to date and comprehensive review of scientific evidence and methodological developments in life course epidemiology, as well as new fields of research, such as integrative omics. This text reflects the focus of recent research, advances in technology, and the evolving nature of the field with its application in practice and policy. There are new chapters on endometriosis, lung function, cognition, gynaecological cancer, integrative omics, structural sexism, violence, health service use, and knowledge translation. Each chapter reflects the views of individual authors, within a common life course framework to provide a consistent approach across the book. This conceptual framework is summarised in the introductory chapter, with an outline of each topic covered. Key findings, common themes, and theoretical and methodological challenges are highlighted in the concluding chapter. Over 50 international researchers working on women's health and well-being from diverse fields have contributed to this new edition which is highly recommended as essential reading for anyone with an interest in women's health.

A Life Course Approach to Women's Health Reviews

Review from previous edition 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 *
