Men's health has gained prominence over the past few years but it is still not on par with the attention or funding that women and child health is getting. In Asia, this issue is even more conspicuous. With westernization of lifestyle, Asian men's problems emulate their Western counterparts but there are certain issues unique to Asian men due to cultural differences. This review will discuss the health issues affecting Asian men and suggest measures that can be taken to overcome them.
近年来,男性健康问题日益受到关注,但与妇女生殖健康和儿童健康相比,仍未得到足够的重视和资金支持。在亚洲,这个问题更加明显。随着生活方式的西化,亚洲男性的问题与西方男性相似,但由于文化差异,也存在一些亚洲男性特有的问题。本文将讨论影响亚洲男性健康的问题,并提出一些可以采取的措施来解决这些问题。
