Men’s Health Week

6/6/2024

This year, Men’s Health Week runs from the 10th to the 16th of June.

Men's Health Week (MHW) aims to raise awareness of men’s health and to encourage all men to seek help to address any health concerns that they may be experiencing.

Some facts:

One man in five dies before the age of 65
Men go to the doctor less than women
Men are three times more likely to die from suicide than women
67% of men are overweight or obese
Middle-aged men are twice as likely to have diabetes than women

The overall aims of MHW are to:

Heighten awareness of preventable health problems for males of all ages
Support men and boys to engage in healthier lifestyles/activities
Encourage the early detection and treatment of health difficulties in males

The Library service have a number of books in stock aimed at supporting men’s health. If you’re interested in borrowing any of these titles, please see your site library.
