Kingaroy residents aged between 10 and 55 are being invited to take part in a long-term study into the health of Australian men and boys being undertaken by the University of Melbourne.<\/p>\n

From this month, researchers will be knocking on doors in selected parts of Kingaroy and inviting men and boys to join the study.<\/p>\n

By participating, not only will they help researchers understand more about the well-being of Australian males, they will also have the chance to win a $100 gift voucher from one of their favourite stores.<\/p>\n

The Ten To Men<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0study, funded by the Federal Department of Health, is the first large-scale, ongoing study in Australia into the health and well-being of Australian men and boys.<\/p>\n

It is collecting vital data on male health including general well-being, lifestyle, mental health, diet, exercise, social networks and relationships.<\/p>\n

Ten to Men aims to collect health and lifestyle information from more than 20,000 men and boys across the country.<\/p>\n

The study is “longitudinal” which means that reserachers will return to participants every few years for an update.<\/p>\n

The information will help to inform government policy and program development to improve access to health services.<\/p>\n

Public health statistics show the health of Australian males is on the sick list.<\/p>\n

“A better understanding of the health of Australian males is long overdue,” said Prof Dallas English, from the School of Population and Global Health at the University of Melbourne.<\/p>\n

“We need to let go of the stereotype of the tough Aussie male, and identify the real barriers to men achieving optimal health.”<\/p>\n

In many areas, men are worse off than their female counterparts – they die, on average, five years younger, have higher mortality from injuries and suicide, and are at greater risk of many cancers and chronic conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
