Endemic stress: environmental determinants of women's health in India.
The Indian subcontinent stands alone as an area in which women have a lower life expectancy at birth than do men. The differential impact of environmental influences on the health of women in India is examined. ⋯ It is suggested that there is a link between these factors and women's health status. The combined effort of Indian women and international support agencies is suggested as an approach to examining, evaluating, and remediating the problem.
