Research Pulse: Future focussed health insights

Going 'below the belt' for better health in men

CALHN — Central Adelaide Local Health Network Season 3 Episode 1

CALHN Research Pulse podcast | Season 3 Episode 1 |

Global data tell a clear story: on average, men die around five years earlier than women. Better management of diseases such as diabetes and depression could help -- but for this to happen, men need to seek health support earlier and more regularly than they currently do.

In our first episode of Season 3, we explore the idea that going 'below the belt' could improve how men communicate with their doctors, leading to earlier disease identification, better management and men enjoying their lives more.

We speak to Dr Sam Tafari about supporting men to stay ahead of the game when it comes to their health.
