Little is known about the population segment composed of women at midlife (40-59) and older (60 and over) in Latin America and the Caribbean. Because the general population of the Region is relatively young, up to now little attention has been paid women at midlife and older in either research or service activities-only recently have census statistics begun to be disaggregated by sex and age, and services for women continue to be geared more toward problems of maternity than toward those of chronic illness. ..... This study was undertaken in an effort to provide background information that could be used in planning and encouraging more research and programs for women in these life stages
