Gender is the strongest and most consistent predictor of health and life expectancy. For males, this is not good news.
Around the world, on average, men die almost six years earlier than women. Globally, a man dies every minute from suicide.
Recently, the World Health Organization's1 bulletin on men's health states, "Health outcomes among men and boys continue to be substantially worse than among girls and women, yet this gender-based inequality in health has received little national, regional or global acknowledgement or attention from health policy-makers or health-care providers."
The article states that on the whole, women are outliving men by an average of almost six years. It also argues that including both men and women in efforts to reduce these gender disparities would improve everyone's health and well-being.
This is exactly why the Movember Foundation focuses on men's health. This is why Mo Bros and Mo Sistas from across the globe become a united voice every Movember, bringing much needed attention to the state of men's health.
We're proud of all that we've achieved, but we only have one definition of success - improving awareness for key health issues men face, and finding breakthrough solutions that produce tangible improvements in the lives of those dealing with prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems.
Join us this Movember and help change the face of men's health.
