Peter Baker, chief executive of Men's Health Forum, warns too many males ignore their wellbeing and are either too proud or too busy to visit their GP with any concerns.<\/p>\n
But this could all be set to change with the use of technology, as Mr Baker says this allows men to seek out information without having to feel embarrassed by a face-to-face meeting.<\/p>\n
"Over 40 per cent of men die prematurely before the age of 75, yet too many ignore health problems and are reluctant to speak to healthcare professionals," Mr Baker notes.<\/p>\n
A number of males have been raised to believe they must be "strong and stoical", which tends to mean they do not like visiting their doctors, but this could soon be a thing of the past thanks to IT innovations.<\/p>\n
Men's Health Week 2011 is currently running and is focusing on how technology could be used to boost wellbeing.<\/p>\n
