978-0-19-286464-2 (ISBN)
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.
