September Is Woman's Health Awareness Month
Aging and Women’s Health
Do women face more health concerns than men? If aging is a health concern then yes. According to Laura Katz-Olson, Sciencedirect, “Aging is a Woman’s Problem” Olson writes “Demographic trends indicate that the number and percentage of single, older females have been increasing dramatically each year, particularly in the upper age groups. Consequently, there is a growing economically and socially deprived older population. Women, who have greater health care problems, face government cost containment measures that have both undermined access to quality medical care and engendered greater home care needs. At the same time, the paucity of appropriate home health services, along with public programs that encourage institutional care, force many single, elderly women into nursing homes.” An increased life span and the challenges of ageing means that health care awareness is critical to Women
