USA Letting Women's Health Down - Most Goals Not Met

Sow-wash.

Among US women there is more binge drinking, fewer PAP tests, higher blood pressure, more diabetes, and more Chlamydia than a few years ago. Of 26 health indicators, the USA received a Satisfactory grade in only 3, according to a new report issued by Oregon Health & Science University and the National Women's Law Center...

Over the last ten years, the most evident declines in female health have been in rates of Chlamydia, binge drinking and diabetes. In this report, binge drinking refers to a drinking session which includes consuming at least consecutive five alcoholic drinks.

Every single one of these is a disease of choice.

E.g.:

Don't want binge drinking? Don't binge drink.

Don't want high blood pressure? Don't want diabetes? Lose weight. In a huge number of instances this is the common fix for both and the fix for either for an even greater number.

Etc.

Until the realization hits that the problems we highlight are those we cause ourselves AND we are held accountable, there will be no progress in overcoming them.

Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and the National Women's Law Center (NWLC) say the report was developed as a resource for health experts, advocates and policymakers to assess women's health at state and national levels.

A "resource"?

Just as this is a resource:



Idiottes.
