Masculinity and health: why men seek medical advice less despite their higher mortality rates
Overview & Synopsis
Men exhibit significant excess mortality while consulting healthcare professionals less frequently.

Certain diseases experienced as "masculine" also affect identity. The evolution of masculinity representations and adapted prevention actions offer positive prospects.
