Aging Women and the Office Assessment: Clinical Updates in Women's Health Care Primary and Preventive Care Review.

Abstract

This monograph is intended to serve as a practical guide to the office assessment of the aging woman and recognizes the time constraints that characterize current office practice. Obstetrician-gynecologists are increasingly becoming the primary care providers to women in their practices and especially to older women who have been long-time patients. This monograph should serve as a guide to the many tools needed to assess the health and functional and cognitive status of the aging woman. Illustrative cases demonstrate how to use these tools in a time-efficient manner to achieve a positive effect on the well-being of the patient.
