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>
