We see patterns emerging from <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">the</span> data that show marked differences between <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">the </span><span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">health</span> <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">of</span> <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">men</span> and women, and at <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">the</span> same time large disparities <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">in</span> <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">health</span> outcomes between <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">men</span> <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">in</span> different countries and within male populations <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">in</span> each Member <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">State</span>. This variability demonstrates that <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">men</span>’s <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">health</span> disadvantage is not biological inevitability. What is apparent is that although there is a large volume <span class="searchword" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; background-color: #fffbc3;">of</span> sex disaggregated data collected across Member States, there is little analysis or consideration of the broader socio-cultural factors underpinning the data, and even fewer attempts to translate this into gender-proofed policy and practice in ways that enable men’s perspectives to become visible. A main message from this report is that there is a high level of preventable premature morbidity and mortality in men, which will only be addressed by targeted activity across the lifespan.</span><span style="color: #32322f;"> </span></span&gt
