The Mayo Clinic stated in a very, very short article the nature of the health threats for men and some other key items. Let’s run through them!
The big ones for men are cancer, heart disease, and unintentional injury. I believe the lattermost one comes from the vast majority of the most dangerous jobs being dominated by men. So, they will more probably be injured on the job by those things. With heart disease and cancer, there are definite genetic components to those.
However, these can be curbed with some healthy lifestyle choices and physical activity added into the routine for the day. There are some things that men do which are casual sex and drinking to excess. Those harm their health. It is part of the higher risk-taking of men, which harms them in general.
Men need to use seat belts and helmets, and use safety ladders too, in order to prevent injuries on the job or in recreation. Come on, guys!
Men age as with everything. They become less virile, more brittle, and more breakable than before. Systems in the body break down more. The aging guts that grow as one’s chronological numbers grow. The testosterone levels that drop inversely to the age increase.
So, the good news: these are avoidable problems for a while, for a healthy and long life – as a statistical bet on long-term health span.
