Men health questions and concerns
According to their theories, biologists say that the normal lifespan of human beings are 120 years old.
But the true is in the U.S. and other developed countries, average life expectancy at birth is about
79 years for women and about 72 years for men.
Why men die earlier than 120?
The answer is cristal clear: 99.9% die of sickness. This is a significant condition why men's health should be
a very important thing for male population and a big concern for whole society.
The truth is astonishing. Men are 39% more likely to die of diabetes than the women,
55% of cancer, 64% of pneumonia or influenza, 78% of cardiovascular disease,
four times more likely to commit suicide, twice more likely to die of an accident, and so on.
On the other hand, it is often said that main part of men do not like to admit, even to themselves, that they can have
health problems because they feel that it is a sign of weakness.
According to Government statistics:
- men make 150 million fewer visits in a year to their doctors than do women.
- male patients are more likely to wait until a problem that could have been easily treated or prevented is severe or life-threatening.
Of course, men should be responsible for their own health problems. But the society must be responsible too.
If it is good enough for women to get government assisted education programmes,
government assisted research, and government assisted health care for breast
cancer, then it should also be good enough for male population to get the same for prostate cancer and other specific condition and disease.
Men deserve the same concerns and attention as female population has. The same encouragement to get regular
exams, the same coverage in health care plans and the same efforts to find
better treatment. And, very important, they need the women support just because
children need both parents.
The Vienna Declaration on the health of men and boys
"A men's health issue is a disease or condition unique to men, more prevalent in men,
more serious among men, for which risk factors are different for men or for which
different interventions are required for men" (Fletcher 1996)

Question:
Whats the best exercise for arms?
by sandeep Feb 22, 2008
Answer:
Shoulders, back, and hips are parts of the core that are essential for providing a pillar of strength
from which the arms can work. Exercises that emphasize those muscles (chest presses, rows, squats, pull-ups,
deadlifts, overhead presses and planks, to name a few) are some of the best for obtaining
stronger arms.
Question:
Is men's health in opposition to women's health?
by Sean Oct 20, 2007
Answer: Not at all. We know there are people thinking that in order to consider men health we must
suppress women health. This approach is untrue as any nation health depends
upon a positive balance between the genders. Men health questions and concerns must
be addressed to both genders, because the repercussions of men's health are not strictly confined
to men. Loved ones are lost, children are orphaned, women are widowed, families are disrupted,
family earnings are diminished, providers become disabled and so on.
Question:
Why the men are so vulnerable?
by PatRick July 15, 2007
Answer: Men are more vulnerable because they pay less attention to healthy way of life
and information-health. They are more inclined to smoke and drink. They tend to
become very sedentary with the age and let themselves grow bigger. Usually they forget
the annual visit to the doctor or just ignore it.
Questions:
Why men's health should be a big social concern?
by Emma Parker, Farmington, ME, July 5, 2007
Answer: Here it is one more reason. If you ask people who surround you which is most
likely to suffer from cancer or to make a suicide, the majority will point women.
But actually, men arrive on the top of list for 14 of the 15 principal causes of death.
Not only 29% are more likely to suffer from cancer, but their death rate is 52% higher.
