Men around the world are facing a higher risk of premature death compared to women when it comes to the top 20 health problems, according to a recent global study. The study, published in The Lancet Public Health, highlights the disparity in health outcomes between men and women across various conditions.

Researchers analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, focusing on health differences between men and women for common health issues excluding gender-specific illnesses. The results showed that men are more likely to experience illness and death from conditions such as COVID-19, heart disease, lung ailments, and liver diseases compared to women.

One of the key findings of the study was the higher burden of COVID-19 on men, with men experiencing 45% more illness and death from the virus than women. This disparity was particularly pronounced in regions like sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Heart disease also emerged as a significant health issue for men, with men facing a 45% higher risk of illness and death compared to women.

The study also highlighted the impact of road injuries on young males aged 10 to 24 globally. Additionally, low back pain was identified as a major contributor to illness among women, with rates more than a third higher than men. Women were found to suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, mental health conditions, and headaches at higher rates than men.

The researchers emphasized the need for national health plans and strategies to address the unique health challenges faced by men, including interventions targeting behavioral risks such as alcohol use and smoking. They also called for more attention to be paid to women’s health issues such as musculoskeletal disorders and mental health conditions, which have not received adequate prioritization in healthcare systems.

Overall, the study underscores the importance of considering sex and gender differences in health outcomes and designing interventions that address the specific needs of both men and women. By understanding and addressing these differences, healthcare systems can work towards reducing the burden of illness and premature death for both genders.
