- Efforts to improve men's health include making healthcare more accessible and engaging, such as setting up mobile health check units in community locations and offering flexible appointment times.
- Preliminary research suggests that taking daily multivitamins and maintaining high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness can modestly slow down biological aging, while dietary changes rich in complex carbohydrates and plant-based foods can improve overall health and longevity.
