HEALTH STATUS
The systematic assessment of women's health status
enables health professionals and policy makers
to determine the impact of past and current health
interventions
and the need for new programs. Trends in health
status help to identify new issues as they emerge.
In the following section, health status indicators
are presented related to mortality, health behaviors,
morbidity, and reproductive health. Issues pertinent
to selected populations of women, including older,
immigrant, rural, and incarcerated women are
also addressed. The data are displayed by gender,
age, and race and
ethnicity, where available.
