Abstract:

AbstractTransgender men and women experience an incongruity between their assigned sex at birth and their identified gender. Gender dysphoria is defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) as clinically significant distress or impairment resulting from misalignment in assigned and experienced gender. Transgender people have a history of negative experiences in health care and efforts should be made to create a welcoming environment through staff training, gender neutral restrooms, and gender inclusive electronic medical record systems. Transgender men and women face unique preventive health concerns in areas of metabolic screening, cancer screening, immunizations, and anticipatory guidance secondary to cross-sex hormone therapy, gender confirming surgical procedures, and certain high-risk behaviors. Here, the available data are reviewed and suggested best practices are outlined to optimize the preventive health for this patient population.

Abstract:

Murder-suicide (M-S) is a complex phenomenon that can involve a multifaceted set of interrelated biological and social factors. M-S is also sexed and gendered in that the perpetrators are most often male and their underpinning motives and actions link to masculinities in an array of diverse ways. With the overarching goal to describe connections between men, masculinities, and M-S, 296 newspaper articles describing 45 North American M-S cases were analyzed. The inductively derived findings revealed three themes: (a) domestic desperation, (b) workplace justice, and (c) school retaliation. Cases in the domestic desperation theme were characterized by the murder of a family member(s) and were often underpinned by men’s self-perceptions of failing to provide economic security. Workplace justice cases emerged from men’s grievances around paid-work, job insecurity, and perceptions of being bullied and/or marginalized by coworkers or supervisors. The school retaliation cases were strongly linked to “pay back” against individuals and/or society for the hardships endured by M-S perpetrators. Prevailing across the three themes was men’s loss of control in their lives, hopelessness, and marginalized masculine identities. Also evident were men’s alignments to hegemonic masculinities in reasserting one’s masculine self by protesting the perceived marginalization invoked on them. Overall, the findings give pause to consider the need for men-centered M-S prevention strategies to quell the catastrophic impacts of this long-standing but understudied men’s health issue.

Abstract:

SummaryOsteoporosis in men has only recently begun to receive more attention despite it being estimated that about one third of all osteoporotic fractures occur in men and that the residual lifetime fracture risk in a man aged 60 years may be as high as 30 %. Accrual of bone mass and age-related bone loss in aging healthy men are multifactorial processes involving hormonal, environmental, and genetic factors. This review will summarise the effects of gonadal steroids on bone turnover and bone mass in both, men with over hypogonadism and healthy elderly men with age-related androgen deficiency.

Abstract:

Men?s health is a significant public health issue in Australia. Increasingly, health indices show poor health outcomes for them. Literature suggests limitations in the health services dealing with their needs. If we are to improve boys? and men?s health, we should look at the efficacy of these services and address their limitations. This study provides data from a survey about the types of services available for boys and men. The service provider respondents expressed major concerns and identified ways of improving services.

Abstract:

Significant gender disparities exist in life expectancy (the average life expectancy of men is 5.07.2 years less than that of women) and major disease morbidity. There is an urgent need to understand the major issues related to mens health that contribute to these significant disparities. Men have a higher death rate from 14 of the 15 leading causes of death (all except Alzheimers disease). They have a nearly threefold higher rate of death from bladder cancer and twice as high a rate of death from kidney cancer than women. For all cancers except non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer and the sex-specific cancers, men also have a higher rate of incidence and death when considering all ages. The International Society of Mens Health (ISMH) believes that raising awareness of prostate health prostate disease as well as testosterone and hypogonadism will empower and motivate men to consult their physician. It will also be a promoter and catalyst for detecting many other existing or underlying conditions and comorbidities. The most important goals are to empower men to manage their own health and to talk about worries regarding their health.

Abstract:

This article examined differences in condom use during anal intercourse among men who have sex with men (MSM) and male-to-female transgender women in Jakarta, Indonesia. A cross-sectional design, structured interviews, and hierarchical linear modeling were used to examine condom use among MSM recruited from entertainment places (EPs; e.g., discotheques/dance clubs/karaoke bars), massage parlors (MPs), and among transgender women who congregated and/or sought sexual partners on streets/parks (S/P). The sample consisted of 91, 97, and 114 of MSM-EP, MSM-MP, and transgender-S/P, respectively. Respondents reported on 641 unique sexual partner encounters, which were “nested” within 302 respondents. Reported condom use was high, 66%, 84%, and 83% for MSM-EP, MSM-MP, and transgender-S/P, respectively, and varied across type of respondent. At the individual level, depressive symptoms and history of physical abuse during childhood and adulthood were associated with lower condom use ( p < .05). By contrast, having a higher level of education was associated with more condom use ( p < .05). At the partner level, condom use was associated with type of partners and the use of club drugs before sex. HIV-prevention efforts should take into account the multilevel determinants of condom use within these populations.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Women have been thought to be protected against the perils of cardiovascular disease (CVD) till late in their lives. But the literature suggests quite the opposite with CVD being a major cause of death even in young women. In contrast, the lack of awareness among women is disheartening and needs to be addressed radically. Methods The study was designed and conducted as retrospective cohort at a tertiary care center. Data was collected from patients presenting for routine cardiac health checkup over the past 15 years. The parameters observed included age at presenting, symptoms and/or signs, plus area of residence or domicile. Results A total of 32,831 patients presented for routine cardiac health checkup, of which 9,211 (28.1%) patients were women and 23,620 (71.9%) were men. On 5 yearly cumulative assessment, the mean attendance of women was 28.1 ± 2.5% as compared with 71.9 ± 2.6% men. Trend observed over the past 15 years revealed little change in the number of women versus men presenting for cardiac health checkup annually. Statistical significance was seen at p < 0.01. Among the women presenting for the checkup, it was observed that most women were in the postmenopausal age group (42.8%), followed by perimenopausal age group (34.6%), and least in premenopausal age group (22.5%) during the timeline of the study. A similar trend was observed in the male attendance; the input of males being higher at all instances. Noteworthy were trends of urban women (69.6%) presenting for health checkup more often as compared with 30.4% visiting from rural residence. Conclusions Coronary artery disease (CAD) is not uncommon in female gender. It is accompanied by varying symptom presentation with high mortality. It is seen that cardiac health awareness is significantly lacking among women as compared with men. There are almost static trends observed over the past 15 years, especially in premenopausal age group and rural domicile. Corrective actions inclining toward campaigns and communication to distribute information on cardiac disease prevention and treatment modalities among women are needed to curb CAD. This may promote early detection of CAD leading to early interventions to promote a healthy heart among women. Recommendations and necessary actions steps for a woman oriented cardiac program are the need of the hour.

Abstract:

Abstract:Health Watch, a longitudinal prospective study of healthy aging, was designed to characterize a healthy population of 2,200 men and women, ages 20-80 years in 1970. Biochemical, hematological, and physiological tests are performed annually over three weekly visits, combined with a self-administered Health Watch questtionnaire to measure health status and behaviors in seven areas (with over 1,330 variables). In 1988, the Health Watch study was modified to assess characteristics of an oldest old “productive aging” cohort in Kauai, Hawaii. Nutrition, physical activity, extended family, and spirituality were found to be major health determinants. During 1989 to 1991 a controlled intervention study (ten local primary care physicians and their patients, aged 65-89 years) was completed in the Sun Cities, Arizona. These studies provide evidence that primary care physicians can promote positive health outcomes in patients of any chronological age and baseline health status through active healthy aging interventions.

Abstract:

AbstractThis review article summarizes the epidemiological findings published between 2011 and 2016 concerning bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, dioxins, pesticides, air pollution, fracking chemicals, triclosan, and parabens and fertility parameters in men (i.e., semen volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility, and sperm morphology) as well as fertility parameters in women (i.e., cyclicity, fertility treatment outcomes), pregnancy outcomes (i.e., preterm birth, miscarriage), and reproductive disorders (i.e., polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids). Overall, this review indicates that several environmental toxicants are significantly associated with reduced fertility parameters in men and women as well as several reproductive disorders in women. Although many studies reported that the selected exposures are associated with adverse fertility outcomes, several studies reported null associations. Thus, future studies are still needed to better elucidate the associations and potential mechanisms between these environmental chemicals and fertility outcomes in men and women.

Abstract:

Our recent paper (Tsey, Patterson, Whiteside, Baird, & Baird, 2002) analysed the early stages of a participatory action research process (PAR) designed to support members of a rural Aboriginal men?s group to take greater control and responsibility for the factors influencing their health and wellbeing. This follow-up paper focusses on key challenges and opportunities associated with the PAR process. Among other things, the paper highlights: a need for training providers and policy-makers to give more attention to the issue of community development skills and how to promote the uptake of such skills more widely in Indigenous settings; the importance of taking a ?solution-focussed approach? in line with the principles of PAR when doing community development work; a need for relevant training and creation of real employment opportunities to be central to strategies designed to support rural Aboriginal men to take their rightful place; a need for the men?s group to promote the broad spectrum of its activities more widely so as to minimise an image problem that the men?s group is only for men having problems; and, above all, an urgent need for the men?s group organisers to play leadership roles through, for example, dialogue with local gay men so as to jointly come up with ideas to make the men?s group more accessible for all men, including gay men.

Abstract:

Background: Despite increasing rates of cancer survivorship, there is still evidence to suggest men are less likely to access information services, health services and cancer screening. Men may be more reticent to express their emotions in relation to health and specifically in relation to cancer; and so it is important to ensure that services offer different routes to inclusion. Maggie´s ( www.maggiescentres.org ) is an innovative, multidisciplinary, health professional led model of holistic supportive cancer care, widely regarded as an exemplar of best practice in cancer rehabilitation and supported self-management. In 2017 Maggie´s received 249,247 visits across their network of twenty-three centres in the UK, Hong Kong and Tokyo. One of the key challenges for Maggie´s and others is to develop sustainable, innovative and equitable approaches to supportive care. Aim: To explore whether male-specific facilitated support groups provide a constructive environment within which men can engage with health professional led holistic cancer services. Methods: Men (n=39) with a range of cancers (including curative and noncurative) from varied socioeconomic backgrounds, attending male-specific facilitated support groups at eight Maggie's Centres in the UK completed questionnaires to give feedback on the social, emotional, practical and informational support the groups aim to provide. A smaller subset of group members (n=12) participated in focus group discussions to capture themes about why men attend the groups. The group facilitators were interviewed to provide observations about the impact of the groups on both the participants and themselves. Results: Men in the facilitated support groups report high levels of satisfaction in relation to practical (94.8%), emotional (95.2%) and social (90.47%) and informational support (92.50%). Thematic analysis of the smaller subset of focus group data suggest reasons why men attend male-specific support groups including “reducing isolation and developing a sense of belonging”, “creating shared experience and understanding”, “safely expressing emotion”, “protecting loved ones from distress” and “use of male specific language and humor”. Conclusion: Globally, the supportive care needs of men affected by cancer are changing but the Maggie´s model of care offers valuable lessons that can be generalized across varied support settings to meet these emerging needs. The current study underlines the importance of engaging and supporting men throughout the cancer experience through the use of professionally facilitated support groups that discuss themes tailored to the challenges the men face and maximize the opportunity for acceptable social support. Further controlled longitudinal research is required to build on these findings.

Abstract:

Introduction. Haematological parameters such as haemoglobin, haematocrit and red blood cells are very important in determining health and physiological status of a human. It is perceived that the haematological parameters level can change depending on the person`s age and gender. We designed a study to investigate the differences among Persian males and females. Materials and Methods. Totally 2434 healthy people were selected randomly for this research. The Hgb, HCT and RBC amounts were recorded individually. Also, the colony-forming unit assay results of 32 622 newborns’ cord blood was investigated. Results. The outcome has shown that females have the lower haematological parameters amounts rather than males. The amounts of these parameters decrease in men over 35 years of age, but since females in their middle age have significant decline in Hgb, HCT and RBC values, their haematological parameters increase in their blood after middle age. Moreover, the colony assay results indicated that the myeloid progenitor in the cord blood of newborn boys is more than in newborn girls. Conclusion. In conclusion, the variation in haematological parameters in different genders throughout a person’s life is related to various factors such as hormonal changes and hematopoietic stem cells differentiation in cord blood. Key words: haematological parameters, haemoglobin, haematocrit, red blood cell, colony-forming unit assay, hematopoietic stem cells, cord blood, age, male, female

Abstract:

The formation of a health culture is an integral part of the social policy that is pursued in the country. At the same time, it should be noted that despite the considerable attention of the state and scientists to health issues, still this problem is not solved properly. An analysis of recent scientific studies has shown that there is a lot of the health status research of schoolchildren, students and of the first adult age women, but the somatic health of the 22-35 years men is hardly investigated by scientists. Purpose of the study: to analyze the somatic health of the 22-35 years capoeirists. Research methods: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical observation; pedagogical experiment; assessment of somatic health by the method of G.L. Apanasenko; methods of mathematical statistics. Organization of research. The studies were conducted at the Capoeira school "RABO DE ARRAIA", Dnipro. The study involved 27 first adult age men who are engaged in capoeira training. Research results. According to the general estimation of the first adult age men`s somatic health level by the method of G.L. Apanasenko, 69.2% of that men had a low health levels. Only 15.4% of men have the somatic health indicators that are average. The positive impact of physical activity on improving the level of somatic health has been proven by scientists. Improving the men`s health by the physical education means opens up opportunities for managing of the capoeirists` health, and therefore there is a need to develop a fi tness program for the 22-35 years aged men, engaged in capoeira training. Further research prospects: Development of a capoeira`s classes fitness program for the 22-35 years old men, according to their physical condition`s level.

Abstract:

Information surrounding the treatment of prostate cancer is not clearly defined by medical science. Consequently, health professionals are divided with respect to the most appropriate method of screening and detection. The assumption that if health professionals are not clear, what are the perceptions of Australian males in terms of prostate cancer detection and treatment options? Further, what does it mean to men from non-Australian cultures with language and cultural barriers impacting on choices and decisions relating to health? (Laws et al., 2000). This paper provides insight into the lives of 20 Italo-Australian men. It attempts to draw on their perceptions and understandings of prostate cancer and prostate cancer awareness from their unique perspectives. It will highlight some of the significant issues with respect to being an Italian born man living in Australia and how this impacts on health issues, and specifically prostate cancer awareness. The intention of this paper is to provide in-depth qualitative data to emphasise Italo-Australian men?s health perspectives and experiences.

Abstract:

Men’s increased risk of death in ART programmes in sub-Saharan Africa is widely reported but poorly understood. Some studies have attributed this risk to men’s poorer health-seeking behaviour, which may prevent them from accessing ART, being adherent to treatment, or remaining in care. In a multicentre analysis of 46 201 adults starting ART in urban and rural settings in South Africa, these factors only partly explained men’s increased mortality while receiving ART. Importantly, the gender difference in mortality among patients receiving ART (31% higher for men than women) was substantially smaller than that among HIV-negative South Africans, where men had twice the risk of death compared with women. Yet, this extreme gender inequality in mortality, both within and outside of ART programmes, has not given rise to widespread action. Here it is argued that, despite their dominance in society, men may be subject to a wide range of unfair discriminatory practices, which negatively affect their health outcomes. The health needs of men and boys require urgent attention. S Afr J HIV Med 2013;14(1):12-14. DOI:10.7196/SAJHIVMED.894

Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate whether Pakistanis have increased bone turnover compared with ethnic Norwegians due to their high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism, and whether the relation between bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD) differs between Pakistanis and ethnic Norwegians. Design: A cross-sectional, population-based study conducted in the city of Oslo in 2000–2001. Random samples of 132 community-dwelling Pakistani men and women of ages 40, 45, and 59–60 years, and 580 community-dwelling Norwegian men and women of ages 45 and 59–60 years are included in this substudy. Methods: Venous serum samples were drawn for measurements of markers of the vitamin D endocrine system and the bone turnover markers osteocalcin (s-OC), bone alkaline phosphatase (s-bone ALP), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (s-TRACP). BMD was measured at the forearm by single-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: Pakistanis had higher s-bone ALP compared with Norwegians. Mean (95% CI) age-adjusted levels were 22.5 (21.0, 24.1) U/l in Pakistani men versus 19.3 (18.6, 20.1) U/l in Norwegian men, P < 0.0005, and 20.3 (18.4, 22.1) U/l in Pakistani women versus 16.7 (16.0, 17.4) U/l in Norwegian women, P = 0.001. There tended to be an inverse association between bone turnover and BMD in men and women of both ethnic groups, and it was strongest for s-bone ALP. Overall mean (95% CI) distal BMD decrease was −16 (−20, −11) mg/cm2 per 1 s.d. increase in s-bone ALP (P < 0.0005) when adjusting for age, sex, and ethnicity. Conclusions: Except for somewhat higher s-bone ALP levels in Pakistanis, there were only minor ethnic differences in bone turnover, despite a strikingly different prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Bone turnover was inversely associated with forearm BMD in both ethnic groups.

Abstract:

The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS estimates that between 0.3% and 0.7% of adults aged 15 to 49 years were living with HIV in Ecuador in 2013. However, very little is known about the HIV prevalence rate among men who have sex with men (MSM) in that country. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding HIV/AIDS as well as to estimate the prevalence of HIV among MSM in one of the cities with high HIV prevalence rates in Ecuador. In this study, questionnaires were administered to 307 adult MSM. An HIV prevalence of 10% was observed. Knowledge about HIV was high; 91% of participants could identify how HIV is transmitted. Although consistent condom use for anal sex was relatively high (89%) among participants who reported having pay-for-service clients, only 64% reported using a condom during oral sex with a client. Participants who had multiple male sexual partners (i.e., their stable male partners plus other partner[s]) had 3.7 times higher odds of testing positive for HIV compared with those who did not. They also had reduced odds of condom use. Participants who were forced to have anal receptive sex had 3 times higher odds of testing positive for HIV. Despite the finding that participants exhibited high knowledge about HIV/AIDS, a high prevalence rate of HIV was observed, which warrants targeted behavioral interventions. These data are consistent with MSM being one of the highest at-risk population groups for HIV in this region of Ecuador.

AbstractBiliary atresia (BA) is a fibro-obliterative cholangiopathy of unknown etiology. While Kasai portoenterostomy achieves temporary biliary drainage in some cases, BA remains the most common indication for liver transplantation during childhood. During the last few decades, observations on BA, like cholestatic diseases in animals and the introduction of different animal models for BA, have not achieved the anticipated results, and we are still not able to translate the basic research to the patient's bedside. This article presents a review of the literature on available BA animal models and gives a glimpse of future developments.

Full text

Abstract:

The idea of a small group mentorship program was developed from the concept that small groups might, in some small degree, replace the companionship that men who had been made redundant had experienced in the workplace and in social activities related to work, and that, as a result, participants? health would improve. It was thought these groups would function better if one or two unemployed peers who could demonstrate some positive approaches to the experience of unemployment were identified. This report documents the use of a small group mentorship intervention among 126 retrenched and unemployed men. The aims of the program were to determine the effectiveness of the mentorship program in improving a range of outcome measures, including improvement in health and wellbeing, increased confidence and skills in job search behaviours, and enhanced social networking/ reduced isolation. The program was evaluated using quantitative and qualitative methodology. The mentorship program was found to be an effective intervention to significantly improve outcome measures for depression and anxiety and social interaction for retrenched men. It is recommended that small group mentoring programs be more generally offered to retrenched men to build skills, to promote social connectivity and to improve men?s health and wellbeing.

Abstract:

Abstract:Fitness measurements were compared from approximately 12,000 men and 5,000 women attending the BUPA Health Screening Centre, London, with published Canadian levels. The mean (±SD) predicted VO2-max values in the BUPA group were 35.1 (±9.2) and 30.0 (±8.4) ml/kg/min for men and women aged 15-64 years, respectively. These compare with means of 44.1 and 34.3 in men and women of the same age in Canada. A comparison of flexibility measurements showed that in all age groups the BUPA subjects were less flexible than their Canadian counterparts, on average 28.7% and 25.1% lower for men and women, respectively. Comparison of grip strength showed BUPA values to be on average 8.1% lower in men and 9.5% lower in women than the Canadian levels. Analysis of variance showed that the fitness measurements reflect the recorded physical activity in the BUPA sample, and in particular the predicted VO2-max and flexibility exhibit linear relationships with age and exercise levels.

Abstract:

Since 2001 a team of academic researchers and medical practitioners have been collaborating with Yarrabah Men?s Health Group leaders to implement a participatory action research (PAR) process designed to support the men to (in their own words) ?take their rightful place? in contemporary Australian society. The formative stages of the PAR process and progress over the first 12 months have been documented in previous papers in order to provide much needed direction for others interested in undertaking similar community action-oriented research (Tsey, Patterson, Whiteside, Baird, & Baird, 2002; Tsey et al., 2004). The present paper addresses the need for innovative evaluation methodologies to enable participants in the PAR process to monitor and reinforce the small improvement they are making towards achieving their goals, and to maintain their vision for the future. Participation in men?s group activities resulted in modest but significant change in the men?s personal development and growth and in their response to family responsibilities. Men had the opportunity to dialogue and reflect on their gender responsibilities such as housework, which constitutes a major source of conflict in the family. Several men also gained the confidence and motivation to stand for local government. The study highlights the value of demystifying and making research more relevant to people?s day-to-day living experiences.

Abstract:

ObjectivesThe objectives are to analyse social determinants of sexual health behaviour (condom use and HIV testing) among young, internet-active, cis men who have sex with men (MSM) in a high-income country. The aspects of sexual health behaviour analysed here are condomless anal intercourse with one or more new or casual partner(s), condomless anal intercourse during the most recent sex with a man and HIV testing.MethodsA randomised sample of men active on Sweden’s main online community for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans people responded to an online survey (response rate 19%). A subsample of young people, aged 15–29, was analysed (effective sample 597–669) using multivariable logistic regression with respect to factors associated with condomless anal intercourse with one or more new or casual partner(s), condomless anal intercourse at most recent sex and not having had a test for HIV.ResultsLow education, being single and living in a metropolitan area were found to be independently associated with condomless anal intercourse with new or casual partner(s). Sex with a steady partner was associated with condomless anal intercourse during the most recent sex. Knowledge of where to get tested, high education, being born outside Sweden and condomless anal intercourse with new or casual sex partner(s) were independently associated with having been tested for HIV.ConclusionsThe factors associated with sexual health behaviour among young MSM are complex, and preventive messages need to be tailored accordingly.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Substantial evidence has indicated an association between hypogonadism and depressive symptoms, which led to the conduction of studies that found an ameliorating effect of testosterone (T) supplementation (S) upon depression in men. Methods Retrospective analysis of medical records identified 16 depressed, hypogonadal men who have not responded adequately to initial antidepressant therapy and subsequently received intramuscular T injections. Following the proposal of Button et al., a minimal clinically important difference was defined as an 18% reduction of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) score. Results After TS, the BDI-II score decreased by approximately 31% (p<0.01), from 27.2 (mean; standard deviation [SD] 11.8) to 18.8 (mean; SD 11.3). Patients with baseline BDI-II scores ranging from 29 to 63 (severe depression) showed a significantly higher absolute and relative reduction through TS. Also, men with a shorter depression duration (<2 years) demonstrated a greater benefit. Conclusions The depressed, hypogonadal men generally benefited from TS given that the BDI-II score reduction was almost twice as much as needed for a minimal clinically important difference.

Abstract:

Summary Objectives: To examine whether the Framingham Risk Model can appropriately predict coronary heart disease (CHD) events detected by electrocardiography (ECG) in Japanese men. Methods: Using the annual health examination database of a Japanese company 5611 male workers, between the ages of 30 to 59, who were free of cardiovascular disease, were followed up to observe the occurrence of CHD events detected by ECG over a period of five to seven years. The probability of CHD was calculated for each individual from the equations of the Framingham risk model (with total cholesterol). Results: The incidence of CHD increased with the estimated CHD risk. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed an adequate fit of the risk model to the data of the study subjects. In the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the area under the curve reached 0.67 which indicated an acceptable discriminatory accuracy of the risk model. Conclusions: The Framingham risk model provides useful information on future CHD events in Japanese men.

Abstract:

This narrative review highlights key issues in men’s mental health and identifies approaches to research, policy and practice that respond to men’s styles of coping. Issues discussed are: 1) the high incidence of male suicide (80% of suicide deaths in Canada, with a peak in the mid-50 s age group) accompanied by low public awareness; 2) the perplexing nature of male depression, manifesting in forms that are poorly recognised by current diagnostic approaches and thus poorly treated; 3) the risky use of alcohol among men, again common and taking a huge toll on mental and physical health; 4) the characteristic ways in which men manage psychological suffering, the coping strengths to be recognised, and the gaps to be addressed; 5) the underutilization of mental health services by men, and the implication for clinical outcomes; and 6) male-specific approaches to service provision designed to improve men’s accessing of care, with an emphasis on Canadian programs. The main conclusion is that a high proportion of men in Western society have acquired psychological coping strategies that are often dysfunctional. There is a need for men to learn more adaptive coping approaches long before they reach a crisis point. Recommendations are made to address men’s mental health through: healthcare policy that facilitates access; research on tailoring interventions to men; population-level initiatives to improve the capacity of men to cope with psychological distress; and clinical practice that is sensitive to the expression of mental health problems in men and that responds in a relevant manner.

Abstract:

Physical activity has been suggested to be beneficial in preventing disease and improving body function in older people. Older people’s leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) is affected by various factors, especially environmental factors. However, the differences in the association between older people’s LTPA and the built environment in different sex groups remain unclear. Perceived built environment scores and older people’s LTPA were collected for 240 older people in Jinhua using the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale and International Physical Activity Questionnaire, respectively. A linear regression method was used to analyze the associations between older people’s LTPA and the built environment in men, women, and all participants. The results showed that land use mix diversity was associated with LTPA in older people for both sexes. In men, LTPA was also associated with access to services. However, in women, LTPA was associated with residential density, street connectivity, and crime safety. The relationship varied when demographic variables were incorporated into the regression analysis. Those results indicated that a shorter perceived distance from home to destination would motivate older people to engage more in LTPA. Older people’s LTPA was affected by various built environment factors according to different sex groups. Women’s LTPA was generally more sensitive to the built environment. More studies are needed to confirm the association between LTPA in older people and the built environment in men and women in mid- or small-sized Chinese cities in the future.

Abstract:

Background The relationship between alcohol intake and risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is unclear. Men and women differ in their drinking habits, which may affect a possible association. Objective This article investigates the association between alcohol consumption, alcohol dependence and VTE in the total population as well as in men and women separately. Methods We performed a prospective, population-based cohort study in northern Sweden. Study participants were 108,025 (51% women) persons aged 30 to 60 years who underwent a health examination between 1985 and 2014. We assessed alcohol consumption and defined alcohol dependence using a questionnaire. The outcome was a validated first-time VTE. Results The mean follow-up time was 13.9 years, and 2,054 participants had a first-time VTE. The mean alcohol consumption was 3.5 standard drinks weekly in men and 1.5 in women. Alcohol dependence was found in 10% of men and 3% of women. There was an association between alcohol consumption (hazard ratio [HR], 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00–1.03 per standard drink weekly) as well as alcohol dependence (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.06–1.52) and VTE after adjustments. In men, the risk of VTE increased over quartiles of weekly alcohol consumption (p for trend 0.02), with a HR of 1.22 (95% CI, 1.01–1.47) for the highest quartile. Alcohol dependence was associated with VTE in men (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.07–1.59). In women, there were no significant associations. Conclusion High alcohol consumption and alcohol dependence were associated with increased risk of first-time VTE in men, but not in women.
