This book covers current controversies in women's health care. It takes a broad interdisciplinary approach to the subject. With topics ranging from the controversies in breast and cervical cancer screening, through osteoporosis and the menopause, to the relationships of older women with their doctors, it provides a well-rounded view of health care for older women. Each chapter has been written by an authority in that field and includes issues of current debate. The book is suitable both for students new to the area and for specialists wishing to read about the work of others in related fields, as well as being a useful source of information for general practitioners about the provision of women's health care from a primary care perspective.

'a comprehensive account of the many issues - gynaecology, the menopause, screening, lifestyle, social attitudes - which render the older woman particularly vulnerable' British Medical Journal
'This would be a valuable handbook for any professional whose work involves contact with older women as patients or 'clients'. Real warmth and understanding of the target group surfaces most clearly in Professor Ebrahim's account of the health needs of elderly Asian women. Older women in general would welcome his suggestion off advocacy.' Zoe Slattery, Age and Aging, Vol 22 No 2
'Coverage of clinical issues is one strength of this book. ... Health Care for Older Women is a book suitable for professionals in clinical and sociological disciplines. It is easily read and understood. Both health care providers and investigators will benefit from reading this volume.' Deborah T. Gold, Duke University Medical Center, Journal of Women & Aging
