In most countries around the world, men have a shorter lifespan than women. In high-income industrialized countries such as the United States, women were expected to live 5.3 years longer than men in 2003. (80.1 years compared to 74.8 years).
However, in many countries, this gap has been gradually closing in recent decades. This review investigates the mortality gap, focusing on the United States, by providing an overview of the gender pattern in mortality, an explanation for its existence, and an assessment of how and why it has changed over time.
Currently, one in every five men will die before the age of 65. One of the main reasons for this is that men are not as proactive as women when it comes to men’s health, i.e., their own health.
The most important message for all men is that if illnesses are detected early, the prognosis and treatment are invariably so much easier and more positive.
Unfortunately, the majority of men continue to ignore their own health and ignore signs and symptoms until they become debilitating.
Get regular health checks and see your doctor right away if you have any concerns. Men’s health should be promoted more widely.
You must examine your physical health.
Men die at a younger age than women. Currently, one in every five men will die before the age of 65.
Many of these deaths could have been avoided with dietary and lifestyle changes. Men are statistically more likely than women to consume more alcohol, gain weight, smoke, and fail to eat a healthy balanced diet. These factors are lowering men’s health quality, and thus their health and life expectancy.
Smoking
Men smoke at a rate of 22%, while women smoke at a rate of 17%. Tobacco use increases the risk of a variety of cancers, most notably lung cancer, which accounts for 70% of all cases. Smokers are more likely to suffer from strokes, heart attacks, heart disease, lung diseases, peripheral vascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease.
Consumption of Alcohol
Men drink more than five days per week, while women drink less than five days per week. Alcohol not only contributes to drunk driving deaths, but it is also responsible for liver problems and other associated health conditions.
Suicide has also been linked to the combination of alcohol and drugs.
The following are the top six actions for living a healthier lifestyle:
Take care of your mental health.
You must not smoke.
Drink in moderation and with caution.
Be physically and mentally active.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Men, in particular, must visit their doctor earlier and undergo regular health checks. Men are often hesitant to visit the doctor, which means that diagnoses are often made much later than they would have been otherwise. This has a significant impact on their prognosis.
Finally, please spread the word and encourage the men in your life to talk about health and take care of themselves without feeling embarrassed. We must ensure that men do not suffer in silence or disregard warning signs that could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment. Men must be aware of their bodies and feel comfortable asking for assistance.
