Throughout our lives, our healthcare needs fluctuate. June is National Men’s Health Month, highlighting male-specific health needs. For men over 50, health areas that take the spotlight include focus on the health of the heart, prostate, skin, mind and bones.
Attention toward heart health tops the list of health needs for senior men. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the U.S., according to the CDC. Conditions and lifestyle choices that raise the risk include diabetes, obesity, overweightness, poor diet, physical inactivity and excessive alcohol use. Prevention is aided by not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, healthy eating, exercising regularly and preventing or treating high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
Because prostate cancer rick increases with age, prostate health is another key area. Symptoms of prostate cancer may vary and some men have none. Symptoms may include difficulty starting urination; weak or interrupted urination; frequent urination; difficulty emptying the bladder fully; pain or burning with urination; and continuous pain in the back, hips or pelvis. For men with no prostate cancer symptoms, it is smart to understand the nature and risk of it, and the risks, benefits and alternatives to getting screened for it.
Skin protection is another focal point. Men are more likely than women to experience serious effects of Melanoma, a form of skin cancer. However, lowering the risk can be as easy as wearing long sleeves and pants, wide-brim hats, sunglasses and sunscreen while
outside. Frequent mole checks and regular visits to a dermatologist are recommended ways of monitoring for skin cancers.
Keeping the mind sharp is also an area in which to be proactive. Activities to help include puzzles, crosswords, word games, card games, math games and regular reading and writing. Helpguide.org recommends trying out new activities regularly, such as following a new recipe and cooking, taking a walk on a new route or improving computer, musical instrument or foreign language skills.
Men ought to strive toward having good bone health, too, to help avoid Osteoporosis, fractures and falls. The American Bone Health organization suggests men eat foods that are rich in calcium, and that they take a Vitamin D supplement. At least 30 minutes of physical activity, like Tai Chi, walking or weight training can also be beneficial, as can practicing proper posture and staying aware of movement.
Scheduling regular doctor visits should be at the top of any man’s healthcare list. Routine check-ups are vital for screening for medical issues, assessing future medical problems and learning how to be in the healthiest state possible.
Major Healthcare Needs for Men Over 50 Consider checking in with your doctor this month about these five areas of concern.
