All the evidence points to the fact that men take more chances with their health than women. They are more likely to smoke, drink alcohol and be overweight. They are less likely to attend their GP for acute illnesses and, more importantly, to ask for screening check-ups. The end result of this is that men live about five years less, on average, than women.

The main cause of male death is coronary heart disease, with around 20 per cent of men dying prematurely from heart attacks, angina, and heart failure. Men are more likely than women to die from cancer of the lung and other smoking-related lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Greater awareness of male-related health problems through media campaigns is one answer. Encouraging men to live a healthier lifestyle with regard to diet, exercise, smoking and drinking will help reduce male premature deaths.

Most problems that affect men's health can be detected earlier if a few simple self-examination check-ups are carried out. The sooner a condition is picked up, the greater the likelihood that something can be done about it. Keeping an eye on your body is simple, and will take up only a tiny amount of your time.

A simple place to start is to measure your body mass index (BMI) by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters. A BMI between 20 and 2S is healthy; above 30 indicates obesity, associated with higher rates of heart disease, diabetes and osteoarthritis. Weight loss not associated with change of diet can indicate problems such as diabetes or cancer. Weight gain might be due to hormonal imbalance, such as an under active thyroid gland.

Raised blood pressure (hypertension) is a factor in heart attacks and stroke. The problem is that for almost everybody suffering from hypertension, the condition is symptom less, and it can only be detected if checked by your doctor. Blood pressure measurement is also performed as part of fitness checks at a gym, and home BP machines are becoming less expensive. If attending your doctor for a check-up, ask about a blood test for cholesterol, another risk factor for heart disease.
