Though heart disease affects both men and women, the guys are more likely than the ladies to have their heart stop suddenly. A new study shows roughly 1 in 9 men will suffer cardiac arrest by age 70, versus 1 in 30 women. Heart disease often develops earlier in men than women, so the risk of cardiac arrest is higher. It’s important for men to get screened for cardiac arrest risk factors like high blood pressure and high cholesterol to stay on top of heart health.Women’s and Men’s Health Issues.

 

Osteoporosis is more often perceived as a women’s issue because women are at risk earlier in their lives, but starting around age 65, both sexes lose bone density at the same rate. Smoking and alcohol consumption can weaken bones, while exercise and vitamin intake can help prevent osteoporosis. Men and women should make sure they have a daily calcium and vitamin D intake that’s appropriate for their age and get plenty of weight-bearing exercise, like walking and even dancing, to support bone health.Women’s and Men’s Health Issues.

 

If your partner is experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED), the best support you can offer is to learn more about it. ED is common and affects nearly 1 in 10 men. Though older men may experience changes in their ability to have erections, ED isn’t a normal part of aging and is usually treatable with medication, therapy, surgery or sexual aids. It’s important to communicate, listen to your partner, be supportive, and take an active role in his treatment. Keep a positive attitude and be open to trying new ways of experiencing intimacy.Women’s and Men’s Health Issues.

 

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in men; 1 in 6 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. This type of cancer may stay confined to the prostate gland, but it can spread to lymph nodes, organs and bones. Symptoms don’t always show up at first, but some men experience problems with urination, erections, and back or hip pain. Help your man steer clear of this health issue by making sure he gets an annual physical, plus a baseline PSA blood test and rectal exam at age 40.Women’s and Men’s Health Issues.

 

While women tend to worry more when they experience anxiety and depression, men process their emotions differently and usually have depressive symptoms that are harder to recognize. Guys may mask their feelings by exercising or working excessively, engaging in risky behaviors like drinking or gambling, and by becoming angry and irritable. Men are also more likely to make successful suicide attempts. How can you help? Listen, offer support, and encourage him to talk to a professional. Never ignore any suicidal comments or self-destructive behaviors.Women’s and Men’s Health Issues.

 

Men are coming up short when it comes to skin cancer prevention. In a Skin Cancer Foundation study, only 51% of American men said they used sunscreen in the past year, and 70% didn’t know the warning signs of skin cancer. The good news is both men and women can reduce skin cancer risk with a few lifestyle changes, like staying in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. (when the sun is at its most intense), wearing clothing that blocks UV rays, and applying a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher every day.
