The Problem With Men Men are killing men. Not with guns or with their fists, but with their illness. On average, men die almost seven years earlier than women and have higher rates of heart disease, lung cancer, cardiovascular disease - in fact, almost every life threatening condition. More men die in accidents.
More men commit suicide.
And yet men use health services far less frequently than women and they are far less likely to be receptive to health promotion messages or to change their lifestyle in order to become healthy. This series explains why and explores what's being done to make men better. It also covers the major 'men's only' health problems - prostate cancer, testicular cancer and impotence. The Problem With Men is a Beyond Production co-produced with the ABC and Television New Zealand. Presented and narrated by renowned humourist, John Clarke .
