Abstract
Warren (1972) proposed a means for determining differences between rural and urban social contexts that expands on the population definitions. Essentially, these differences are geographical, social, and economic in nature, and the health status of individuals in either setting may be affected by these variations. The health issues of women that evolve from these rural factors are the focus of this article.Keywords
