Maximizing men s health; you can do it, guys!
There s no way to cushion this message: Most men need to pay more attention to their health. Compared to women, they smoke and drink more, make more risky and unhealthy choices and are much more reluctant to see a doctor for a checkup or because of a nagging health complaint (it ll go away if I ignore it!). As a result, women who were age 65 in 2014 can count on living two and a half years longer than guys who were age 65 in that year. Even more startling: In 2020, American men s life expectancy at birth was 75.1 years and women s at birth was 80.5.
