Healthy ageing and long term conditions in women

The Women's Health Strategy England Chapter 17 is all about healthy ageing and long-term conditions for women. It covers a variety of different areas where improvements are needed based on feedback from women stating the following conditions were extremely important to their health as part of the aging process. They include:

• Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as Osteoporosis 
• Cardiovascular disease
• Stroke 
• Diabetes
• Dementia 
• Vitamin and mineral deficiencies all of them are needed but especially Vitamins B, C and D plus Iron, Magnesium and Calcium. Numarknet has a variety of different individual Vitamins and Minerals. It has also combined Vitamins and Minerals for example  Numark A-Z Multivitamin & Mineral tablet 30s (3861804) .
• Neurodiversity 

Women and women's organisations also raised concerns that the healthcare system doesn’t focus enough on older women’s healthcare needs and experiences. The importance of health promotion activities designed to keep women more informed about how to ensure better physical health into older age was specifically emphasised. As community pharmacies are already playing a major part in health promotion activities, they are ideally situated to support women's long term physical and mental health conditions and their overall general health as part of the ageing process.
