Seeking answers in women’s health: A research agenda for the coming decade
While we understand more about women’s health than ever before, critical gaps remain. How can we delve deeper into the lifestyle and genetic factors that shape women’s risks for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes? What new insights might we uncover about brain health by examining the interplay between nutrition, exercise, and memory? How do environmental toxins and air pollution contribute to the risk of chronic illness? In this panel discussion, leading investigators from the landmark Nurses’ Health Study explored pressing questions and emerging frontiers in women’s health research.
