      abstract = {The number of Americans 65 years of age or older is  projected to more than double to over 98 million by 2060,  making them 24% of the overall population. Women constitute  more than 50% of this group. Most clinicians who provide  primary care for older women receive minimal training about  their unique health issues and needs during residency  however, and few resources exist to guide them regarding  these issues in practice. This book provides user-friendly,  evidence-based guidance to manage common challenges in  healthcare for women during menopause and beyond, filling a  huge and growing unmet need for primary care clinicians.  Edited by a multidisciplinary team with content expert  authors from family medicine, oncology, urogynecology,  obstetrics and gynecology, psychology, and more, this text  provides clinically relevant information about important  conditions impacting the health of older women, including  suggested guidelines for management and helpful resources  for patient counselling and care. The first half of the  book covers general topics such as menopause, bone health,  depression and grief, cancer survivorship, and obesity. The  second half focuses on issues below the belt that are  difficult to talk about, such as incontinence, vulvar  pathology, and sexual health after menopause. While there  is copious literature about the menopausal transition, few  resources for clinicians exist about caring for women  beyond the 6th decade. Challenges in Older Women's Health:  A primer for clinicians provides focused, evidence-based  information about high-yield topics for a too often  neglected group of patients.},
