Despite rising mental health problems worldwide, engaging men to seek mental health support is challenging. Male‐only lifestyle interventions have shown promise for improving men's physical health, but the overall impact of these programs on psychological outcomes is unclear. This review aimed to evaluate the impact of male‐only lifestyle interventions on men's mental health and to identify if any study or intervention features were associated with effectiveness. A systematic literature search with no date restrictions was conducted across four databases and returned 15 946 citations. Nine studies were eligible for inclusion, representing 1427 participants. Risk of bias was generally low across studies, although none were specifically powered to detect changes in mental health. Overall, significant group‐by‐time effects were reported for 26% of mental health outcomes examined. In the fixed‐effects meta‐analyses, small‐to‐medium intervention effects were observed for mental health–related quality of life (SMD = 0.24), self‐esteem (SMD = 0.51), and positive affect (SMD = 0.58). Insights into effective study or intervention features were limited because of the low number of heterogeneous studies. Although male‐only lifestyle interventions have improved men's mental health in some circumstances, studies that are specifically powered to detect long‐term changes are urgently required, particularly in groups with pre‐existing mental health concerns.

男性生活方式干预对男性心理健康的影响：系统评价和荟萃分析。

尽管全球范围内的心理健康问题日益严重，但让男性寻求心理健康支持仍然是一项挑战。仅限男性的生活方式干预措施有望改善男性的身体健康，但这些计划对心理结果的总体影响尚不清楚。该评价旨在评估仅男性生活方式干预对男性心理健康的影响，并确定是否有任何研究或干预功能与有效性相关。在四个数据库中进行了无日期限制的系统文献检索，并返回了15 946次引用。9项研究符合纳入条件，代表1427名参与者。在所有研究中，偏见的风险通常较低，尽管没有一项专门用于检测心理健康的变化。总体，据报告，有26％的心理健康结局具有明显的分组时效。在固定效应的荟萃分析中，观察到中小干预效应对与心理健康相关的生活质量（SMD = 0.24），自尊（SMD = 0.51）和积极影响（SMD = 0.58）。由于异质研究数量少，因此对有效研究或干预功能的见解受到限制。尽管在某些情况下，仅男性生活方式的干预措施可以改善男性的心理健康，但仍迫切需要进行专门研究以检测长期变化的研究，尤其是对于那些已经存在心理健康问题的人群。自尊（SMD = 0.51）和正面影响（SMD = 0.58）。由于异质研究数量少，因此对有效研究或干预功能的见解受到限制。尽管仅男性生活方式的干预措施在某些情况下改善了男性的心理健康，但迫切需要进行专门研究长期变化的研究，尤其是对于已经存在心理健康问题的人群。自尊（SMD = 0.51）和正面影响（SMD = 0.58）。由于异质研究数量少，因此对有效研究或干预功能的见解受到限制。尽管仅男性生活方式的干预措施在某些情况下改善了男性的心理健康，但迫切需要进行专门研究长期变化的研究，尤其是对于已经存在心理健康问题的人群。
