Get the whole picture. Start with the executive summary.
The experiences
We listened to countless stories. Men not knowing the risks, leaving it too late to seek professional healthcare, or having a poor experience when they do, and much more. All to create a clearer picture of men's health.
The impact
Men's health doesn't just affect men alone. Every day, we hear from wives, mothers, sisters, partners, mates, neighbours, children, teachers and doctors. Their stories, along with men's, create the real face of men's health.
The benefits
Preventing avoidable conditions in men and improving the day-to-day lives of men and those closest to them can save billions.
Numbers don't lie
Some stats we must fix.
In Ireland, two in five men die before they're 75. Most of these deaths are preventable, with men’s premature death rates 40% higher than women’s.
Men account for four in every five suicides in Ireland. 97% of GPs in our research treated male patients with suicidal thoughts in the past year.
60% of informal caregivers report a decline in their own mental health while caring for the men in their lives.
Where men live predicts how long they live
