Men in the United States are sicker and more likely to die early from preventable causes compared with their peers in other similarly high-income countries, a new study has found.
Released on Thursday by the Commonwealth Fund, a nonprofit organization focused on public health issues, the report compared "health care accessibility, affordability and health status" for adult men across 11 high-income countries, including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, New Zealand and Australia.
The study used data from the organization's International Health Policy Survey and from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Across the 11 countries included in the study, rates of chronic conditions, avoidable deaths and mental health needs for U.S. men were among the highest.

Women tend to be proactive while we are reactive, and we take more risks.

..."Men in the U.S. and Australia were found to be most likely to report having multiple chronic conditions at 29% and 25% respectively. Meanwhile, France and Norway were the lowest at 17%.
Across the 11 countries included in the study, U.S. men were also found to have the highest rate of avoidable deaths, or deaths before 75 years old, with 337 avoidable deaths per 100,000 males, compared with the U.K., which had the second highest rate at 233 avoidable deaths per 100,000 males. Switzerland had the lowest rate at 156 avoidable deaths per 100,000."...
