Abstract
Health outcomes in later life are dependent in part on activities started in midlife. Primary and secondary prevention strategies include seeking healthier life choices, early detection of disease, and specific disease avoidance through immunization and other activities. The recommendations for various screenings and health care for postmenopausal women have changed rapidly over the past 2 years but still include the basics of nutrition, exercise, testing for common illnesses, and control of existing health problems.
