Addressing Important Men’s Health Issues - More from the Men’s Health Conference
Description
In general, men in the U.S. are expected to live nearly six years less than women, and non-Hispanic Black and American Indian/Alaska Native men have a lower life expectancy than non-Hispanic white men. Many diseases that disproportionately impact men, like heart disease and cancer, are preventable through regular doctor’s visits and healthy lifestyle choices.
However, one survey found that 63 percent of men of color report not getting regular health screenings. Men are also more likely to have lower health literacy levels than women, meaning they may struggle to find, understand, and use information and services required to make informed decisions about their health.
Tune in and listen to this episode of Partners in Health and Biz as cancer biologist/author Dr. Bernard Kwabi-Addo shares important facts about fat, salt and sugar, and how they effect our health.
