title: Optimal care of older women. An opportunity for both prevention and treatment.
abstract: As the number of older women and their average life expectancy increase, physicians will need to focus as much on providing preventive, health-promoting care as on treating disease. Drs South-Paul and Woodson present a guide for multidimensional evaluation of asymptomatic older women that can serve as a framework for designing individualized care.
