Introduction to Men’s Health Medicine

The average life expectancy of a man has increased dramatically.

Thanks to advancements in our socio-economic status in modern society and also improvement made in health care technologies, we can now live longer.

Average lifespan for both men and women at birth is 66.26 years (64.3 years for males and 68.35 for females) in 2008 according to CIA World Fact Book.

67.2 years (65.0 years for males and 69.5 years for females) for 2005 – 2010 according to the United Nation World Population Prospects 2006.

 A person who is 65 years old in 2007 could expect to live to 82 years old with some individuals living beyond the age of 100.

Before that, illness would cut the lifespan of a man to 40 years old.

Men body suffers through illnesses and accidents.

We want to continue to live an independent and healthy life since modern science has given us extra years to live.

No men want to be weak going through their golden years.

We should work towards being health and enjoy our golden years.

Detection of illnesses at an early stage will increase our potential of a cure and a return to health.

It is equally important that the longer we live and the better quality life we have.

Our ability to enjoy life to the fullest requires us to spend time and effort in our health maintenance and disease prevention.

This effort we put in will be rewarded immediately and it is never too late to start.

A men’s body is like a machine, example a car.

A car requires regular maintenance which enables it to last longer in a working and running condition.

When a car reach a certain mileage, we need to routinely change the engine oil, filters and  rotate the tires to keep it running smoothly.

We, men follow a carefree attitude towards our health.

We see our doctor only when there is something wrong with us, normally already reaching serious state and condition.

Men do not go for regular health check up and preventive health care.  We risk our health or even our life by taking risky behavior activities and substance abuse.

Disease occurs when a men reaches middle age and beyond.

It would be good to start considering regular health screening.

A healthy lifestyle is not about the absence of a disease but about our opportunity to enjoy the years of life available to us.
