Though some of the material was over my head, I found it interesting how the articles described women's (and men's) health as something that can be understood completely, a goal that is reachable with extensive studies. But I think that a component of our overall health evolves alongside our own individual socio-economic standings which is constantly changing. As men become more open to surveys/studies and women climb up the socioeconomic ladder certainly our overall health has reacted. Another point of interest for me was when one article was talking about how race is a factor, but wouldn't the findings from studies on race-related health become obsolete as more and more people are biracial (as people can't be categorized into one race)? Obviously this is a very complicated subject and the articles ask plenty of questions themselves.
