[Health developments for Scandinavian women].
The article reports developments in health status among women in four Nordic countries, based upon data published in the Swedish Public Health and two research reports, one Danish the other Nordic. The mean life expectancy of Danish women has fallen and, in an international comparison restricted to OECD countries, was shown only to be higher than that of women in Turkey or Ireland. A similar health development is manifest among women in Norway and Sweden, increasing class differences being a common feature. The mean life expectancy of Finnish women exceeds that of Finnish men by eight years.
