    Many health concerns are facing today's women. Why is womens health so
    important? Women are living longer and are encountering more and more health
    challenges. In the past, womens health research focused on fertility and reproduction,
    while research regarding other diseases focused on men. Thus, it is important to identify
    this inequitable situation so that women can be diagnosed and treated accordingly. The
    overriding purpose of this study was to determine the health issues of working women
    aged fifty to sixty five in Angeles City, Philippines.
    The study is a quantitative descriptive type. It is done through the use of a selfadministered questionnaire. It was validated by five experts and the results from pilot
    study underwent Cronbachs analysis to determine its reliability. The questionnaire is
    composed of a checklist and a seven-point bipolar scale. The respondents were chosen
    based from the following criteria: they should be females aging 50-65 years old, working
    in Angeles City, Philippines excluding self-employed. The researchers used purposive
    sampling and the total number of respondents was 146.
    Most of the respondents have a physical health issue of eye problem, mental health
    issue of poor memory, emotional health issue of stress, social health issue of staying
    indoors and no spiritual health issues. The majority of the respondents physical, mental,
    emotional, social and spiritual health issues moderately affects physical well-being, diet,
    work, finances, recreation and social relations and other aspects of their life, but those
    health issues do not affect the respondents marital, sexual and family relations.
    Based from the results, all health issues do not the affect the marital, sexual and
    family relations. Since there are health issues experienced, the researchers recommend
    this to nurses, to educate patients, especially women aged 50-65 years, of the possible
    health issues they may encounter and preventive measures for such.
