“Know your man facts” is the message urging men and boys to pay more attention to their health, as a new survey reveals that heart disease is the leading killer of men in Australia, with four in five of deaths under 65 being men.

The research, released for Men’s Health Week next week, shows that one man dies of heart disease every hour. It also found that three out of four suicides are men with over 50 percent of separated dads feel suicidal and one in four of male suicides are linked to relationship separation.
