Evidence is accruing of associations between male reproductive health disorders and chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The links between reproductive health and general health are under-recognised by medical practitioners and the general public. Windows of opportunity exist for a more holistic approach to men's health when men present with reproductive health symptoms (such as erectile dysfunction) or the reproductive implications of chronic disease are recognised. Further men's health research is needed in Australia to guide policy, innovative health promotion, and clinical practice.
越来越多的证据表明，男性生殖健康问题与冠心病和 2 型糖尿病等慢性疾病之间存在关联。医学从业者和公众对生殖健康与整体健康之间的联系认识不足。当男性出现生殖健康症状（如勃起功能障碍）或慢性疾病对生殖系统的影响被认识到时，就为采取更全面的男性健康方法提供了机会。澳大利亚需要进一步开展男性健康研究，以指导政策、创新健康促进和临床实践。
