多年来的统计均表明，男性的平均寿命在个星球上普遍较女性短。尽管导致这一现象的原因众多（请参阅：http://www.jkbangbang.com/info_healthy_detail.php?id=2422&category=->582->989->1027），但其中有相当一部分影响男性健康之危险因素是可以预防或修正。例如，合理膳食、戒烟限酒、释缓压力等。因此，男士们应该努力遵循健康的生活方式，以能够承担自己应该承担的责任。

近年来，尽管男女两性的平均寿命之差距有所缩短，但仍应该额外关注男士们的健康。例如，应定期筛查男士们的前列腺癌、直肠癌和心血管病，以力争早期发现、早期诊断和早期治疗上述疾病。另外，还要特别关注男士们的睾丸激素（testosterone）水平，如若出现水平降低，理应适量增补。总之，重视男性保健应该是给父亲们最好的礼物！

While the life-expectancy gap between men and women has decreased, it's no secret that men still need to pay more attention to their bodies. Several things work against men. They tend to smoke and drink more than women. They don't seek medical help as often as women. Some men define themselves by their work, which can add to stress.

There are also health conditions that only affect men, such as prostate cancer and low testosterone. Many of the major health risks that men face – like colon cancer or heart disease- can be prevented and treated with early diagnosis. Screening tests can find diseases early, when they are easier to treat. It's important to have regular checkups and screenings（From: medlineplus）.
