AnnotationThe scope of this report encompasses the coming generation of older women (those now in the 50s and 60s) as well as older age groups. It proposes a framework for action on health for older women within the Health for All context. The report presents a brief account of features of demographic ageing, and outlines the social, cultural and economic determinants, and priority health issues. Strategies for action, in accordance with the WHO Aging and Health Programme, are proposed: policy development; advocacy; community-based programmes, including support of carers; and training and research.
