Life expectancy for US women lags behind that for women in other countries. Factors contributing to inequitable health for women are complex and include policy, community, healthcare access, and the interaction between the patient and her healthcare provider working within the healthcare system. We propose a societal pyramid of health accounting for the effects of these different factors and their impact on prevention, screening, diagnosis, and management of disease using the examples of smoking and obesity, two of the most important yet modifiable risk factors for chronic disease and death among US women. |
