Synopsis:
The gap in life expectancy between men and women has narrowed in recent years, but men continue to face many health disadvantages. Men are more likely than women to smoke and drink, engage in risky behaviors, and put off checkups and regular preventative care. Men also face a number of disorders unique to their gender, including prostate cancer, penile and testicular disorders, low testosterone, and sex-related genetic disorders. Men's Health Concerns Sourcebook, Seventh Edition discusses health issues that disproportionately affect men. It explains how men can help protect themselves and preserve their health with self- examinations and screening tests. Detailed information about diseases specific to men, their sexual and reproductive health, prostate disorders, and mental health concerns is included. It provides facts about alcohol and drug use and injuries that arise due to accidents and other health concerns and explains how men can avoid them or lessen their impact. Lifestyle choices, nutrition, physical activity, and information on vaccinations for men are also covered. A glossary of terms related to men's health and a list of resources provide further help and information.
