New Statistical Guide to Women’s Health

A new statistical guide to women’s health from Health and Human Services (HHS) includes data sets published for the first time, including women residing along the U.S-Mexico border, in rural and urban areas, and among immigrant, incarcerated and older women. “When you look at the statistics in this report, it is clear that women suffer from many chronic, preventable diseases and conditions, but it doesn’t have to be that way,” Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson said in this HHS press release. Also See: Heart Disease Among Women: More Research Needed
