Mens Health online

With Men's Health Week occurring this week, an initiative of the RACGP, the M5 Project, has introduced a new online health risk assessment tool aimed at getting men to take an active role in focusing on their health and wellbeing. M5 HEALTH ONLINE is designed to engage men with a personalised experience that includes targeted health information and interactive risk assessments, coupled with professional ongoing support and advice. The "5" is the five steps men can take straight away to reduce their risk of dying from preventable conditions:

• Share your family history with your GP
• Know your healthy weight
• Check your blood pressure
• Stop smoking – it’s the only health option
• Maintain a healthy mind and a healthy body
