The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) is a long-term national health study focusing on strategies for preventing heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. The study, which began in 1991 and has involved over 161,000 women aged 50-79, aims to address the most common causes of death, disability, and impaired quality of life in postmenopausal women. It consists of a set of clinical trials and an observational study, all aimed at improving women's health and well-being through evidence-based findings and interventions.
