Health by Lifecycle Channels
No one classification system consistently defines differences in key health issues and needs during the various phases of life. Yet, such differences do occur in all of us during a number of phases between birth and death. Health Power is sensitive to the fact that at a given point in time, some of our visitors and users may have a specific interest related only to individuals of one gender or sex, or to individuals in one phase of life, or lifecycle. Therefore, we have established the following six "Lifecycle Channels", most of which also have sub-phases:
