Gender, the complex of social relations and
practices attached to biological sex, is one of
the most important socio-cultural factors
influencing health and health-related behavior
[1], but rarely is men’s health deconstructed
through the lens of gender [2,3]. A
large body of health research suggests that
men with similar social disadvantages as
women experience poorer health outcomes
in relation to mortality, disability, chronic illness,
and injury rates [4]
