Pain at Midlife: Impact on Health and Health Behaviors
Women's Midlife Health is pleased to announce a call for papers for a special theme issue on Pain at Midlife: Impact on Health and Health Behaviors. Guest edited by Carol Derby and Jelena Pavlovic (Albert Einstein College of Medicine), this special issue will highlight the problem of pain in midlife and its impact on health and health behaviors during the midlife years and as women age. We are looking for papers that address the incidence and prevalence of pain in the midlife, risk factors for pain at this life stage, and its impact on physical and psychological health. Papers addressing how pain may alter physical, psychological, social and cognitive function as well as how it may change health behaviors are also of interest. Papers characterizing care seeking and treatment patterns, including under-treatment or over-treatment are also of interest. Papers can be submitted here.

Aims and scope
Women’s Midlife Health is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers original and review articles focused on the physical and mental health of women during midlife, including articles on aging, reproductive aging and their inter-relationship. The journal focuses on research that provides new insights into the health transitions that occur during midlife, welcoming research that examines the vulnerabilities and opportunities during this life stage and their consequences for healthy aging.
Women's Midlife Health aims to enhance understanding of the bi-directional relationships between changes in reproductive endocrinology and functioning, physical and mental health during midlife. It contributes to clinical and public health knowledge about common underling mechanisms of disease and functional decline and encourages submissions of translational research that may enhance opportunities for healthy aging.
The journal considers clinical and population-based research on health in the mid-life and its determinants and welcomes papers that provide international perspectives or data on the health of midlife women in low and middle income countries. Papers that consider the impact of the environment, occupation, and behavioural or social factors on health and disease processes during this lifestage are encouraged.
