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.
