Mature woman’s health brochure available

As women mature, they need to pay special attention to their health.

A new consumer brochure focusing on health issues that affect women after menopause has just been released.

The brochure, titled "You’re In Charge" and published by the Alliance for Aging Research, offers easy-to-adopt suggestions for enhancing a woman’s health.

It also offers advice on making health choices in diet, exercise and lifestyle behaviors and a "Checkup Checklist" that lists the recommended tests for aging women.

According to Daniel Perry, executive director of the Alliance for Aging Research, the first step in prevention is information.

"You’re In Charge" was made possible by an educational grant from the Lilly Centre For Women’s Health.
