Perinatal Care in Canada  
Add to Shortlist | View Shortlist
This chapter outlines with ongoing surveillance of Canadian perinatal care with particular reference to abortion, teenage pregnancy, pregnancy in older women and multiple births. Both infant and maternal mortality rates, key indicators of perinatal health, reflect high standards of care.

Perimenopausal and Postmenopausal Health  
Add to Shortlist | View Shortlist
The perimenopausal phase of a woman's life can span several years. The changes that occur during this period of transition will affect women to varying degrees. For some women these changes can give rise to symptoms that are severe and disruptive, and for others symptoms are mild and the transition is welcomed. During these years women are at increased risk of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.
