Contrary to public image, Mens’ health is not as strong as it appears. Men are more likely to have heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, whereas women are more likely to have arthritis and depression, and there is considerable variation between countries in the differences between the sexes. Men have a shorter life expectancy than women in almost every country in the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global average life expectancy for men is 69 years, compared to 74 years for women.

According to the Men’s Health Network, a lack of awareness, weak health education, and unhealthy work and personal lifestyles are causing a steady deterioration of the well-being of men.

Men often perceive themselves as the primary breadwinners and caregivers in their families. They lead life with a greater sense of responsibility, and are under the silent pressure to provide for their loved ones. As a result, they often neglect their personal health and keep their health conditions or symptoms a secret. Research also shows that men are more likely to downplay their symptoms, delay seeking medical attention, and avoid preventative health measures such as regular check-ups and screenings. This in turn leads to health issues being caught later, when they are more difficult to treat, and can also lead to more serious complications and even death. In the area of sex, men are more susceptible because they are expected to be super heroes. A one time or twice failure to perform due to any kind of issue hits their macho image very hard. This leaves them depressed, further unable to share with any one the suffer mentally and land in humiliated state. Top Health Risks of Men are Heart health, Stroke, Respiratory diseases, Liver disease, Diabetes, Cancers and Depression, Alcohol abuse and Sexual Issues etc.
