There are many reasons for this-typically, men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smokebut perhaps more importantly, men dont go to the doctor.
Men arent seeing doctors as often as they should, says Dr. Gullotta, This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.
Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.
Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old ma who had delayed doing anything about his smokers cough for a year.
When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer, he says, Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged(延长) his life
According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
A lot of men think they are invincible (不可战胜的), Gullotta says. They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, Geez, if it could happen to him,
Then there is the ostrich approach. Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, says Dr. Ross Cartmill.
Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies, Cartmill says .He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.
