Dear All The gap in life expectancy between men and women in the European Region is up to 14 years. Women live longer than men, but usually with greater disability. Men and women differ in health risks and behaviour, and use of services. A new WHO/Europe policy brief written by Sarah Payne from the University of Bristol looks at how health policies can ensure gender equity. The policy brief can be accessed at http://www.euro.who.int/HEN/policybriefs/20090924_1 Best wishes David McDaid LSE Health and Social Care and European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies London School of Economics and Political Science Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/secretariat/legal/disclaimer.htm
