Men across Europe are twice as likely to die before they are 65 according to a major new report into European Men’s Health.
The Report shows that every year more than twice as many men of working age (16-64) die as women with some 630,000 male and 300,000 female deaths across the EU27 countries in this age group.
Written by a team led by MHF chair Professor Alan White, the State of Men’s Health in Europe highlights men’s health in Europe as a serious public health concern using data from the 27 nations plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Lichenstein, Croatia, Turkey and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Men and boys life expectancy is a major inequality issue with boys in the poorest part of our city having a shorter life expectancy than girls born in India and dying THIRTEEN YEARS younger than girls born in the rich areas of our city.
