In most parts of the world, health outcomes among men continue to be substantially worse than among women. Men tend to suffer more severe conditions than women, they have higher death rates for most leading causes of death and they die about six years younger than women.

By the age of 55, approximately 75% of Black men will develop high blood pressure. Forty percent of Black men die prematurely from cardiovascular disease as compared to 21% of white men. 44% of Black men are considered overweight and 24% are obese.
