1 in 5 men die before the age of 65, 2 in 5 men don’t make it to 75, and on average men die 3.7 years before women, however sometimes it can feel like men’s health is side-lined, either societally or individually. This may be due to the fact that men are far less likely to seek medical advice when an issue arises, often times thinking that symptoms will pass, or that symptoms aren’t worth worrying about in the first place. But why is this? What are the main men’s health issues? And what can we do to address them and to help?
To lead off, a majority of the issues that we’re going to talk about are not gender-unique, however the issues mentioned either disproportionately impact men rather than women, or are a worrying trend in men’s lives that should be addressed. Additionally, when we say that men are less likely to seek medical advice, or actively ignore symptoms of health issues, this isn’t to say that all men think this way, however it is factually accurate to say that men only attend half as many GP appointments as women. Additionally, men are likely to have a lower health literacy than women, meaning they are less likely to know the typical symptoms of the most prevalent health issues concerning them.
