ABSTRACT

Analyzing any bio-psycho-social paradigm is complex and requires a comprehensive, integrative approach. Parsing the health picture of individuals, as well as whole populations, is no exception. Considering masculinity as a factor may shed light on health status, especially since traditional ideas of ‘manhood’ work against health promotion and prevention, as revealed in studies worldwide. In fact, these studies show a direct association between traditional understandings of masculinity and risks, vulnerabilities and the construction of health. In the last decade, such observations have received a bit more attention from international agencies.
