Men's Health
It is now a common knowledge that the average life expectancy for Australian men is almost 5 years less than that of Australian women.
Every hour, more than 4 men die from potentially preventable conditions in Australia.
Also, statistics available demonstrated than 1 in 8 Australian men experience depression at any given time.
Nearly 2/3 of Australian population is overweight with men more likely to be overweight or obese than women.
These findings are scary but there is nothing wrong with being a male. The factors listed below are attributed to be causes of all these disparity in health indices.
Have a look and ask yourself does that reflect you?
- Lack of awareness and understanding of the health issues men face
- Men not openly discussing their health and how they’re feeling
- Reluctance to take action when you don’t feel physically or mentally well
- Men engaging in risky activities that threaten their health
- Stigmas surrounding mental health
- Men are less likely than women to seek help for health concerns, and also less likely to use health care services.
