JUNE:
Men's Health Toolkit

Our goal this month is to increase awareness about preventable health issues and to encourage early detection and treatment among men. Screenings and health education are among the many resources available to all Airmen. Use the resources below to help promote the importance of men’s health.

What do you need to know to effectively raise awareness about men’s health?

  • The top 5 risks for men are heart disease, cancer, unintentional injuries (accidents), chronic respiratory disease, and strokes. Many health risks can be minimized through screenings, regular exams, and lifestyle choices.
  • Compared to women, men are more likely to: smoke, drink alcohol, make unhealthy or risky choices, and put off regular checkups and medical care.
  • It’s never too late to start eating healthier. A proper diet, coupled with regular physical activity, can help to lower your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight.
