News from the Health Department:
Did you know? Men have higher rates of death than women for most of the leading causes of death (CDC). The top causes of death for men, in the United States, are: 1). Heart Disease, 2). Cancer, 3). Injuries.
Why are men at higher risk?
- A report from the CDC in 2001 revealed that women are 100% more likely to pursue preventative care and have an annual appointment with their physician than men.
- Men are more often employed in dangerous occupations than women.
- Men may lead less healthy lifestyles and participate in more risky activities in their younger years (Men’s Health Network).
The good news is that many health conditions can be prevented. Ways to reduce your risk include:
- Annual check up with a doctor: this can help address any issues before symptoms become unmanageable.
- A balanced diet high in vitamins and minerals.
- Regular exercise.
- Connection with others.
- Stress reduction.
- Avoidance of drugs, alcohol, and smoking.
