Step Up for Men’s Health
Men are only half as likely as women to schedule a doctor’s appointment and live an average of 5 years less than their female counterparts. Why? Because many wait to address preventable health issues until it’s too late.
It’s time to take your health seriously—for yourself, and for your loved ones.
Don’t be one of these statistics:
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death in men in the US, resulting in 1 in 4 male deaths.
- 1 in 2 men will develop cancer in their lifetime—with prostate cancer is most prominent.
- 40% of American men over age 20 struggle with obesity. This makes a significant percent of the male population more susceptible to harmful diseases such as diabetes.
