Attention to the gendered dimensions of health has tended to focus on improving the disadvantages and vulnerability of girls and women. But to fully understand the ways that gender shapes how people live, work, and optimise health, more awareness is needed about the circumstances of men's lives that adversely affect their health. Men consistently experience shorter lifespans, greater threats to health and safety, and less access to health care than women.

性别与健康也关乎男孩和男人

对健康的性别问题的关注往往集中在改善女孩和妇女的不利条件和脆弱性上。但是，要完全理解性别如何塑造人们的生活，工作和优化健康的方式，就需要更多了解对男性健康产生不利影响的男性生活状况。与妇女相比，男性持续寿命较短，对健康和安全的威胁更大，获得医疗服务的机会更少。
