AB  - To examine the health status of women in relationship to the targets for the 
      Healthy People 2010 ten Leading Health Indicators (LHIs), this paper compares 
      females and males, as well as females by age groups. The data presented in this 
      study were collected from publicly available sources, including Healthy People 
      2010 publications and websites, as well as Health US 2000. In addition, the lead 
      agency Department of Health and Human Services workgroup coordinators provided 
      clarifying information. Women were found to have better health status than men on 
      half of the LHIs. When examined by age, data for the LHIs provide additional 
      insights on where to target interventions to improve women's health. For 
      adolescent females, the biggest challenges to meet the year 2010 targets are in 
      reducing tobacco use, obesity, motor vehicle deaths, and homicides. For adult 
      females, the greatest public health challenges are in increasing physical 
      activity, reducing obesity, and obtaining immunizations.
