Annotation	The complex interaction of medical, social and economic factors that affect women's wellness as they age requires a new paradigm that bridges the gap between those who are concerned about ageing issues and those concerned about women's health. In this article, this paradigm is put forward by advancing three interrelated themes. Firstly, there is a gendered relationship between socioeconomic structures and health over time. Secondly, there are gender-specific implications of health care financing and policy. Lastly, there are health consequences regarding the gendered nature of caregiving. (KJ/RH).
