A report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has found that 49 percent of Australian men suffer from at least one chronic condition, including arthritis, asthma, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, back problems, and mental health conditions.
“This statistic is key in identifying the health needs of men, understanding their practices, behaviours and how they access health care. One chronic medical condition, unfortunately, can be the gateway in developing other chronic health issues, increasing morbidity and the likelihood of premature death,” Mosh General Practitioner Dr. Sabrina Campbell told The Epoch Times in an email.
