Lives Too Short - The State of Men’s Health
Almost 100,000 men are dying prematurely (before 75 years) each year compared to about 66,000 women. By comparison, Wembley Stadium has a capacity of 90,000 and the British Army has 102,000 full-time personnel.
For those who want to be sure they understand the statistics, there is an excellent section on malehealth, the MHF's health information site for men of all ages on understanding health statistics.
