Men’s Health Month
June 3rd, 2024
Welcome to Men’s Health Month. As we encourage the men in our lives to focus on their well-being, we strive to raise awareness about the unique health challenges they face.
- The National Council on Aging reports that men are two to four times more likely than women to have Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
- According to the Indiana University School of Medicine:
- Men are significantly less likely than women to see a doctor or report symptoms to a health care provider.
- Only 60% of men go to the doctor for a yearly, routine checkup, and 40% won’t go until something is seriously wrong.
- 31% of men suffer depression in their lifetime, but only one quarter talk to a mental health professional.
