Mens Health Week
Men’s Health Week was started in 1994 to heighten awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. A boy born in Australia in 2010 has a life expectancy of 78.0 years while a baby girl born at the same time could expect to live to 82.3 years old. Right from the start, boys suffer more illness, more accidents and die earlier than their female counterparts.
Men take their own lives at four times the rate of women (that’s five men a day, on average). Accidents, cancer and heart disease all account for the majority of male deaths.
With these statistics, we wanted to play our part in Men’s health week 2020, understanding that the best people to improve men’s health in Australia are those who live, work and play alongside men and boys in communities within Australia.
