Men may be perceived as the physically stronger gender because they are bigger and more muscular than women. However, when it comes to health, it’s the other way around. Men are more likely to experience chronic health conditions earlier than women because of different lifestyle, biological and social factors. These include smoking, alcohol and substance abuse, stress, hormones, metabolism, genes, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet and lack of regular checkups.

The life expectancy of males in America is 76.1 years. This is five years less than the life expectancy of women which is 81.1 years. The numbers may be intimidating, but they can help you start making necessary changes for better health and a longer life. Having said that, let’s take a look at some of the most common health conditions affecting men, in no particular order.
