商品簡介
The landmark Women's Health Initiative (WHI) prompted many women to seek alternatives to standard hormone replacement therapy. Wang-Cheng and two female colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin, which was one of the WHI study sites, briefly review the unexpected outcomes of this large-scale controlled clinical trial for the prevention of conditions for which postmenopausal women are at higher risk. In 13 practitioner- oriented chapters, contributors address options for treating hot flashes, other quality of life issues, and disease prevention. The text includes resources for patients and health screening and immunizations guidelines. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
