Women's Health USA 2010

摘要

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) supports healthy women building healthy communities. HRSA is charged with ensuring access to quality health care through a network of community- based health centers, maternal and child health programs, and community HIV/AIDS programs throughout the States and U.S. jurisdictions. In addition, HRSAs mission includes supporting individuals pursuing careers in medicine, nursing, and many other health disciplines. HRSA fulfills these responsibilities, in part, by collecting and analyzing timely, topical information that identifies health priorities and trends that can be addressed through program interventions and capacity building. HRSA is pleased to present Womens Health USA 2010, the ninth edition of the Womens Health USA data book. To reflect the everchanging, increasingly diverse population and its characteristics, Womens Health USA selectively highlights emerging issues and trends in womens health. Data and information on vision and hearing loss, home health and hospice care, sleep disorders, and women veterans are a few of the new topics included in this edition. There is also a new section on women and aging, with data on population characteristics and labor force participation among older women, as well as age-specific information on activity limitations, osteoporosis, injury, and abuse.
