The health of women who participated in Operations Desert Shield/Storm was evaluated to better understand the medical requirements of deployed military women and women veterans of the Persian Gulf War. Women's health care needs during the Persian Gulf War were reported to be very similar to those of men, with the exception of gynecologic problems, which generally were not serious and did not require hospitalization. However, insufficient data were obtained to identify specific health care needs among deployed women troops. During the 5 years since the end of the Persian Gulf War, no unique health problems have been identified among women veterans. Whether there will be any exceptional long-term health care requirements currently is unknown. Nevertheless, important medical problems of all women-reproductive issues, menopause, osteoporosis, joint disease, breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke-inevitably will be major considerations when caring for this population of war veterans.
对参加“沙漠盾牌行动”/“沙漠风暴行动”的女性健康状况进行了评估，以更好地了解部署在海外的军事女性以及海湾战争女性退伍军人的医疗需求。据报告，海湾战争期间女性的医疗保健需求与男性非常相似，妇科问题除外，这些问题一般并不严重，也不需要住院治疗。然而，所获得的数据不足以确定部署在海外的女兵的具体医疗保健需求。自海湾战争结束后的5年里，尚未在女性退伍军人中发现任何独特的健康问题。目前尚不清楚是否会有任何特殊的长期医疗保健需求。尽管如此，在照顾这群退伍军人时，所有女性都会面临的重要医疗问题——生殖问题、更年期、骨质疏松症、关节疾病、乳腺癌、心脏病和中风——不可避免地将成为主要考虑因素。
