More older women are being represented in medical research studies such as the Health Initiative of Women, which included over 150,000 postmenopausal women. Such research has helped health care providers to learn about menopause, osteoporosis, heart disease and other diseases that are important to women. Has also been done more research on the prevention of breast, uterine and Colorectal.

Older women still have higher rates of disability than men of similar age, not because more women develop disabilities than men, but women with disabilities survive longer than men. Taking good care, including eating foods high in calcium for strong bones, can lower your chances of becoming disabled. Women also tend to be more vulnerable to poverty and isolation than men of similar age, despite government programs, improved pensions, and the fact that women are working harder than ever. If you plan for your future, that can ensure you have the resources to enjoy retirement.
