It's interesting to note that young men recognize health risks many years before they are likely to develop problems.
Sixty-three percent of 18-to-24-year-olds believe they are likely to develop high blood pressure, the highest
percentage of any age group, compared with 55 percent of men of all ages. The only health problem that young men
are disproportionately less attuned to is prostate cancer--38 percent think they will develop it, compared with 49
percent of all men.
Most of men avoid going for their regular health check-ups, especially younger men, and decide to pay a visit to
the doctor's office only when something is broken, usually because a woman is present and insists that this is
serious and should not be left to chance. Then it is only logical that men have, on average, a shorter life expectancy
than women by six years, due of men's health condition.
