Available in the following formats:
Pdf: 
This Framework for Action addresses the health status and
factors that influence women's health at midlife and older ages with a focus on
gender. It provides guidance on how policy-makers, practitioners,
nongovernmental organizations and civil society can improve the health and
wellbeing of ageing women by simultaneously applying both a gender and an ageing
lens in their policies, programmes and practices, as well as in research. A full
review of the evidence is available in a longer complementary document entitled
Women, Ageing and Health: A Review, which is available in hard copy and
online at http://www.who.int/ageing/en/.
A 4-page
pullout for the formulation of action plans to promote healthy and active
ageing is also available.
