Many of the conditions that affect men do not appear suddenly. Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, frailty, poor mental health and loss of independence often develop over many years, and can often be prevented.

By Dr Mick Watts MBBS MRCGP (Dr Mick Watts is a GP in Windsor with a particular interest in men’s health, healthy ageing and lifestyle medicine.) My aim with these blogs is to explore men’s health in a way that is useful not only to men, but also to the people who live with them, love them, work with them and care for them. The way men respond to health and wellbeing is often shaped by our maleness. Not just by biology, but by the expectations we absorb from childhood onwards
