May 11-17, 2014 is National Women's Health Week. This observance, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health, encourages women across America to lead longer, healthier lives by taking simple, everyday steps to improve their health and well-being.
The National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, conducts and supports research into all aspects of aging and health, including that of older women.
For National Women's Health Week, we'd like to bring one publication in particular to your attention: Menopause: Time for a Change. This comprehensive 37-page booklet discusses menopause, hot flashes, and other menopausal symptoms. It also includes information on what women can do to stay healthy after menopause.
The booklet can be viewed online or downloaded for print from our website. Or your readers may order print copies from the NIA website or by calling toll-free 1-800-222-2225. We have many other free consumer publications available on our website - www.nia.nih.gov - on a wide range of topics related to healthy aging for women and for men.
We invite you to feature this booklet in your publication or on your website. For more information about the resources available from the National Institute on Aging, please contact us at 301-496-1752 or nianews3@mail.nih.gov
