H14339 The health status of males in most countries, including Australia, is generally poorer than that of females. More males than females die at every stage of life, more males have accidents, more males take their own lives and more males suffer from lifestyle-related health conditions. Meanwhile, men are less frequent visitors to general practitioners, and the perception is that they don’t care about health, or that health services are not well-prepared to interact with men effectively.
