The male disadvantage in life expectancy: can we close the gender gap?

Muhammad Zakir Hossin

Summary: Men are often considered to be the stronger sex, but when it comes to health, they are actually weaker than women. This gender gap in longevity is evident globally, with men consistently living shorter lives than women. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted this disparity, as more men are disproportionately affected by the disease. Through scientific literature and updated information, this article aims to provide insights into the biological and social mechanisms that potentially contribute to this gender gap in life expectancy.

Association between health literacy, general psychological factors, and adherence to medical treatment among Danes aged 50-80 years

Subash Thapa et al.

Summary: This study found that patients aged 50-80 years with low health literacy are more likely to use daily medications and have poorer self-rated health, especially among men and those with lower socioeconomic status. Low health literacy is associated with perceptions that taking prescribed medicines daily is difficult, forgetting to take prescribed medicines, lower satisfaction with life, and poor self-assessed health.
