A Snapshot of Men's Health

The Australian Institute of Health (AIHW) has released a report "A Snapshot of men's health in rural and remote Australia". Men in rural regions of Australia may face distinct health issues because of their location, work and lifestyle. This report provides a snapshot of some of these issues and compares the illness and mortality of men in rural and urban areas. Overall, men in rural areas are more likely than their urban counterparts to experience chronic health conditions and risk factors. This report is a useful resource for policymakers, researchers and others interested in emerging men's health policies in Australia. (From: AIHW media release)
