Abstract:

The high prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs) requires the development of new gender-specific prevention strategies.

OBJECTIVE

To analyze the role and significance of the correction of modifiable risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases on male health.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The published data were searched in the MEDLINE (PubMed) and eLibrary electronic databases.

RESULTS

It was shown that such modifiable behavioral factors as poor nutrition, low physical activity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, stress, and excessive salt intake adversely affect male health, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and other diseases. Studies showed that measures aimed at correcting these factors improve both physical and mental health. The role of these sociocultural determinants in correcting modifiable behavioral risk factors in males is described.

CONCLUSIONS

Targeted intervention strategies within preventive medicine should be implemented to improve male health. Identification and correction of modifiable risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases, along with education to promote a healthy lifestyle, are essential for maintaining male health.
