Produktbeschreibung

This book provides an evidence-based approach to the universal experience of menopause. Its structured format clearly separates the biological basis from the clinical impact and quality of life, while also examining menopause within the context of healthy aging. Accordingly, the book addresses issues related to innovations in menopausal hormone therapy and other therapies, together with relevant factors such as lifestyle, frailty, sarcopenia and new ICT technologies.

Written by respected experts in the field, the book offers valuable guidance for gynecologists and professionals dedicated to women's health care and quality of life during aging, while sharing insightful insights for non-professionals.
