    TLDR Men in the U.S. have more health issues, higher death rates from various diseases, lower life expectancy, and are less likely to seek healthcare.
    The 2019 document "Men’s health in the United States: a national health paradox" discussed the higher prevalence of various health issues in males compared to females. Males were more likely to experience accidents, injuries, and deaths from causes such as cycling, unintentional injuries, and motor vehicle accidents. They also had a higher prevalence of androgenic alopecia, antisocial personality disorder, asthma, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. Males had higher death rates from various types of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and were more likely to suffer from conduct disorder, drug use, hearing loss, HIV, homelessness, imprisonment, inguinal hernia, kidney stones, sleep-disordered breathing, spinal cord injury, suicide, syphilis, and traumatic brain injury. Additionally, males had a lower life expectancy and were less likely to seek healthcare.
