Data sources Six risk areas were selected as examples: infant sex ratios; tobacco use by girls; respiratory illness plus anemia; psychosocial stress; osteoporosis; and dementia. Articles and other databases, through article citations, and through consultations with Chinese medical professionals. Data selection Studies were selected which described clinical investigations, health care policy, or conditions of women in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Preference (but not exclusivity) was given to articles in internationally available publications, in English, and to authors working in the PRC. Data extraction Study quality, specific descriptive information concerning population, samples, and outcome measures were evaluated. Data synthesis Data documenting the present and future significance of these health threats are described, and current and potential interventions to address these problems through medical practice, education and research are outlined. Conclusion Important issues in women's health are currently recognized in the PRC; problems occur in assigning priorities in the face of a large population and limited resources. The Chinese medical community plays a central role in developing and carrying out interventions to protect and promote women's health.展开更多
