Seven Years Difference. New Report on Men's Health

The report "7 Years of Difference: Men's Health in Poland 2026" highlights premature mortality among men and emphasizes the need for continued care after diagnosis. In 2025, the average life expectancy for men was 75 years, significantly lower than women's 82 years, with over half of this gap attributed to deaths before age 65. Key health risks include cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and mental health issues. The report stresses the importance of effective patient pathways post-diagnosis and the need for better outreach to at-risk populations. Education level significantly impacts life expectancy, with better-educated men living up to 13 years longer. Recommendations include ensuring follow-up care, improving communication between healthcare providers, and assessing the entire care process to enhance health outcomes for men.
