• Description:
  As the nation’s prevention agency, CDC strives to accomplish its vision of “Healthy People in a Healthy World...Through Prevention.” For women, this involves working to better understand the health issues that have an adverse impact on women, disproportionately affect women, occur only in women, or have an impact on infant outcomes as a direct result of a pregnancy-related event. Women’s health once focused primarily on puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Now, women’s health is recognized as being broad in focus and warranting additional attention and study and involves not only chronic conditions but individual lifestyle choices and environmental and organizational factors. This publication focuses on some of the specific issues affecting women’s health: falls and resulting hip fractures, sports injuries, breast and cervical cancer, and congenital toxoplasmosis. For each report, prevention recommendations and specific research recommendations are provided. Much still needs to be done. The publication addresses diverse and seemingly unconnected women’s health issues; however, these issues are very much connected, and several themes run throughout each of the reports.
