Recent epidemiological research has indicated that men have increased health risks due to biological and social factors. Research in the area of men's health has been focused on disease events and subsequent disabilities. In future aging societies, more attention should be paid to the importance of men's health because a decreased quality of life and increased social burden are impending unless proper maneuvers are taken to slow the development and progression of morbidity through the use of preventive strategies. The adoption of a healthier lifestyle and the early identification and management of risk factors are very important and can be an initiative for prevention and for slowing the progression of morbidities with related quality of life issues. Males are rather vulnerable in terms of health, and conscious and active efforts are required to promote their health in an aging society. Here, we hope to shed light on the influence of lifestyle modifications and their clinical implications on men's health.
近期的流行病学研究表明，由于生物和社会因素，男性面临的健康风险有所增加。男性健康领域的研究一直聚焦于疾病事件及随后出现的残疾。在未来的老龄化社会中，应更加重视男性健康的重要性，因为除非采取适当措施，通过使用预防策略减缓发病的发展和进程，否则生活质量下降和社会负担加重的情况将迫在眉睫。采用更健康的生活方式以及对风险因素进行早期识别和管理非常重要，这可以作为预防以及减缓与生活质量问题相关的疾病进展的一项举措。男性在健康方面相当脆弱，在老龄化社会中需要有意识且积极地努力来促进他们的健康。在此，我们希望阐明生活方式改变对男性健康的影响及其临床意义。
