Abstract
About this report
Men’s health lags behind that of women, with a series of biological, social and behavioral factors working together to keep men burdened with greater disease rates and lower life expectancy. This report helps to unravel the mysteries of men’s health, and explain why it is lacking and how to best combat these forces. This report focused on the importance of recognizing the gender differences when it comes to healthcare, and how to best appeal specifically to men. Topics include:
- How society has fostered the thinking that only “weak” men care about regular consistent healthcare
- The major health issues men face and simple ways to directly target these concerns
- The role that women play, and how to appeal to women to affect men’s health
- How fear, denial and embarrassment drive men regarding their health
- The affect that race/ethnicity, age and income have in how men react to health issues and concerns
