In fact, compared with women, not only do men have a greater chance of getting almost every illness, but they die sooner too, and this statistic has not changed for hundreds of years. In their susceptibility to the main life-threatening diseases, the differences between two sexes are alarming. Men's health is often stigmatised and we live in a 'man up' culture, where it is more common to ignore the knocking and niggles coming from your own body than to ask for help. One in five men die before the age of 65. This book can change that. Dr Jeff Foster, men's health specialist and private GP, will cover the broadest and most commonly misunderstood aspects of men's health, such as testosterone deficiency and male menopause, heart disease, diabetes, and mental health. He also looks at matters to do with male anatomy and physiology.
