Introduction word: Men’s Health Journal (MHJ)

Men's health is globally a relatively new debate that has attracted academic communities from the 1990s in identifying, preventing and treating specific conditions and men's common diseases. When it comes to prevention and early detection, as a result of men’s invincibility feeling and attitude, men's health often takes a back seat to women's health. Researches, however, show that compared to women, men are more likely to smoke; they face more traffic accidents, higher incidences of cancers and generally lead less healthy lifestyles. In addition, men are more likely to put off routine checkup and also delay seeing a healthcare provider for symptoms of a health problem. Compared to working-aged women, and while men face more occupational and environmental toxic effects and stress, working-aged men are less likely to have regular health checkup and be covered by health insurance.
