Welcome to Men’s Health Week

Hi, great to see you. Thanks for being part of Men’s Health Week, June 15-21 this year.

Men’s Health Week aims to help you get right on top of your biggest and most important asset – your health.

Our sole purpose at MHW is to cause men to think. To start with the small steps that enable them to turn their health issues around. One week a year this is what we focus on, but men’s health is an issue for us all year round.

Why have Men’s Health Week?

Men are on the back foot from the start. A boy born today will live nearly four years less than a girl born in the room next door. He will be over 20% more likely to die of a heart attack than the girl, and almost 30% more likely to get diabetes.

Worse, he is three times more likely to die by suicide or in a motor car crash.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

We can do something to change these numbers. You can do that. We owe it to the ones we love and who love us. And it’s not hard – small steps can really make a big difference. Little changes can and do lead to big results. Everyone can do a little something to make their lot better.
