Y1 - 2024 N1 - T2 - Women’s Health Across the Lifespan, 3rd Edition AB - As every person is special requiring the utmost in medical and medication therapy, the primary emphasis of this book is individualizing therapy for girls, women, transwomen, and gender-nonconforming individuals. With terminology constantly evolving, both inclusive and specific gender and culture terms are used interchangeably when appropriate throughout this book. Editors, authors, and reviewers have the best intentions of being respectful and inclusive of all individuals. This book describes the sex gender differences in biology, pathophysiology, assessment, social determinants, pharmacotherapy, and healthcare services that require different assessments, diagnoses, treatments, communications, and health care delivering specific for female patients. Basic, clinical, social, and healthcare service research continues to document how health care needs to integrate a full sex and gender spectrum versus a one-dimensional approach that ignores these two important concepts.
