Text of Interview:
AT: Anything you'd like
to add about the new technologies?
Greenwood: Well...I would
also say I think its also been a very interesting year for
women's health. There have been a lot of new ideas out there,
there's been some controversy over some of the results of
the women's health initiative, and I think a lot of women
are also getting increasingly concerned about the increase
in issues such as obesity and diabetes which do tend to
be a little bit what we scientists call sexually diamorphic;
that is, they occur more frequently in one sex than the
other, and in the case of obesity and diabetes they both
occur more frequently in women.
