Preferred term

men's health issues  

Definition

  • Men in the United States suffer more severe chronic conditions, have higher death rates for most of the leading causes of death, and die nearly 5 1= 2 years younger than women. Why are there such gender differences, and why are some men healthy and others are not? The definition of health is complex, as is the answer to these questions.
