Men’s health and ageing well in New Zealand
Multiple-goal bioeconomic programming to address conflicting management objectives in Indonesian small pelagic fisheries
Intersectional Perspective on Factors Influencing Healthy Ageing Amongst Older New Zealand Men
Little is known about how New Zealand men understand their health and wellbeing as they age and what are the determinants of their healthy ageing. Contiguous and exploratory sequential mixed methods study were conducted with the collection of both focus group and survey data. Methodologically, this abductive process was incorporated within an intersectional framework, providing a comprehensive picture of healthy aging in men across life stages an…

Gender and Social Inequalities in Awareness of Coronary Artery Disease in European Countries
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the single leading cause of death in Europe and the most common form of cardiovascular disease. Little is known about awareness in the European population. A cross-sectional telephone survey of 2609 individuals from six European countries was conducted to gather information on perceptions of CAD, risk factors, preventive measures, knowledge of heart attack symptoms and ability to seek emergency medical care.

Scaling digital health tools with machine learning will require more than just investment in IT infrastructure, it requires capacity within government to support the tools
Beyond a Zero-Sum Game
Epidemics and pandemics, like COVID-19, are not gender neutral. Much of the current work on gender, sex, and COVID-19, however, has seemed implicitly or explicitly to be attempting to demonstrate that either men or women have been hardest hit, treating differences between women and men as though it is not important to understand how each group is affected by the virus. This approach often leaves out the effect on gender and sexual minorities enti…
Use of specific combinations of the triphala plant component extracts to potentiate the inhibition of gastrointestinal bacterial growth
Revisiting “Success” and “Failure” of Marine Protected Areas
Marine protected areas (MPAs) form the cornerstone of marine conservation. Identifying which factors contribute to their success or failure is crucial considering the international conservation targets for 2020 and the limited funds generally available for marine conservation. We identified common factors of success and/or failure of MPA effectiveness using peer-reviewed publications and first-hand expert knowledge for 27 case studies around the …
Social determinants of male health
There appears to be a lack of sex/gender analysis of current cross city data. In areas of deprivation a complex picture of multiple social problems emerges, with marked gender differences in the social determinants of health, with males seeming to be more negatively affected. There is a need for more focused planning for reaching out and targeting boys and men in the most deprived inner city areas, so that greater efficiency in service delivery c…

Everyone assumes a man to be quite strong
Current literature has overlooked the impact of chronic illness on masculine identity. We therefore aimed to investigate the impact of rheumatoid arthritis (a long term condition, affecting more women than men) on masculine identity. Six focus groups with 22 men with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (data reported elsewhere) followed by five one-to-one interviews with men (English, mean age: 59 years) sampled to reflect a heterogeneous experience of lif…
The influence of social constructs of hegemonic masculinity and sexual behaviour on acceptability of vaginal microbicides in Zambia
Vaginal microbicides are heralded as a woman's HIV prevention method. This study, conducted in a microbicide clinical trial setting in Zambia, explored how the social construction of masculinity and sexual behaviour influenced the acceptability of vaginal microbicides. The data were generated from 18 In-depth Interviews and 8 Focus Group Discussions. The data were analysed thematically. The study found that hegemonic masculinity influenced the us…

Holistic Experiences and Strategies for Conducting Research With Couples
In this article, we outline methodological considerations for conducting research interviews with couples. We draw from two qualitative men's health studies, both developed to explore social interactions between men and their partners of either sex in relation to their health practices. We utilized a combination of separate interviews and joint couple interviews. From these studies, we offer insight into our experiences of using both types of int…
Successful mental health promotion with men
There remains significant concern about men's mental health, particularly in terms of personal and societal barriers to help-seeking, negative coping mechanisms and high suicide rates. This article presents findings from a multi-phase study looking at 'what works' in mental health promotion for men. Work here reports the collection and analysis of the tacit knowledge of those working within mental health promotion interventions for men. A 'multip…
Men, rheumatoid arthritis, psychosocial impact and self-management
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease affecting fewer men than women. We systematically reviewed the literature on impact and self-management of rheumatoid arthritis in men. A total of 28 papers were included and grouped into two categories: psychosocial impact of rheumatoid arthritis, and coping and self-management. This review finds gender differences relating to quality of life, work, distress, self-management, coping and support. We concl…
Barriers and facilitators to health screening in men
Supporting lifestyle risk reduction
For men, unhealthy lifestyle behaviours including physical inactivity, a poor diet, smoking and excess alcohol represent major, modifiable causes of non-communicable disease worldwide. Innovative approaches that seek to overcome the barriers that men experience when attempting to deploy more self-care to manage these behaviours are required. This study assessed the outcomes of a 12-week men’s health promotion intervention delivered in and by prof…

Men and Gender Equality
In this article, some of the most important findings of the European research project The Role of Men in Gender Equality (2011-2012) are discussed. This project was the first systematic research study of all European Union member states and associated European Free Trade Association states regarding men and gender equality in the fields of education and paid labor, the involvement of men in care and domestic work responsibilities, men's health, g…
‘It is fun, fitness and football really’
Concerns about gender inequalities in longevity, particularly premature male mortality, have prompted a range of innovative approaches to health promotion work dating back to the 1980s. In developing such work, sport, and football in particular, has emerged as a gendered cultural field that has utility for engaging men in community health initiatives. Evaluations of such work have shown that health initiatives using football settings, football in…

New, normative, English-sample data for the Short Form Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4)
This article provides population norms for the Short Form Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4) and investigates the relationship between PSS-4 scores and sociodemographic variables. The PSS-4 was administered to an English sample ( n = 1568) and was found to have acceptable psychometric properties. Sociodemographic variables explained 19.5% of variance in PSS-4 scores, and mean PSS-4 scores were significantly different from the mean scores reported in …
Understanding how men experience, express and cope with mental distress
In line with the shift towards prioritising lay accounts and narratives of chronic illness in sociology, there is an emerging literature on men, their subjectivities and experiences of mental distress. We argue in this paper that subjectivities and distress among men are an important area for critical sociological research. Very little is known about men's subjectivities or the meanings they give to - and how they cope with or seek help for - dis…

Implementing a community-based self care training initiative
Within the UK, there is growing recognition that individuals will need to take increased responsibility for managing their own health for there to be improvements in population health. The current evidence base on self care interventions reflects an interest in enhancing self care knowledge, skills and behaviour in relation to the management of long-term conditions. In contrast, this paper reports on a community-based self care initiative that wa…

Damned If They Do, Damned If They Don't
This article documents the authors' efforts to listen to Nicaraguan men and to explore with them the foundations of their sexual behavior and masculinities. In 1999 and 2000, the authors conducted focus groups involving ninety men from the Pacific side of Nicaragua. From analysis of the text of these interviews, five discourses were identified: a traditional patriarchal discourse ( machismo), a Catholic discourse, a Western progressive (liberal f…

Within Nietzsche's Labyrinth
More Myth than Reality
In the context of an industrial revolution dominated by technological change and factory-based production, nineteenth century Sheffield has been perceived as differing from the norm. Small workshops, numerous outworkers and the retention of handicraft skills have charcterised the cutlery trades until the present century and these economic structures are said to have produced a backward looking but independent and robust artisan class. In this pap…
We Never Knew What Price We Were Going to Have Till We Got to the Warehouse’
What If Socioeconomics Made No Difference
OBJECTIVES: Several studies have noted the impact of socioeconomic factors on access to expensive medical care, but none of those studies controlled for self-reported health and functional status or attitudes about treatment alternatives when analyses were completed. Because these factors may be correlated with socioeconomic status, the failure to control for them may have led to bias in other studies. The authors merged data from secondary sourc…
Nietzsche's Postmoralism
This important collection of essays, originally published in 2000, the year of the centenary of Nietzsche's death, offers a full assessment of his contribution to philosophy and represents a helpful guide to the current landscape of Nietzsche studies. In Beyond Good and Evil Nietzsche calls on new philosophers to carry on the process of reinterpretation and revaluation that will constitute the philosophy of the future. This reconsideration will b…
Why Are Hospital-Based Nursing Homes So Costly
OBJECTIVES: To determine the extent to which higher costs in hospital-based skilled nursing facilities (HBSNF) can be explained by observable resident characteristics and unobservable selection effects, implying a design shortcoming of the skilled nursing facility prospective payment system (SNF PPS) implemented for Medicare-covered stays by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA 1997). RESEARCH DESIGN: Data on resident characteristics from the Min…
There's a Nasty Smell in the Kitchen! Gender and Power in the Tourism Workplace in Wales
The tourism industry accounts for over 10% of employment in Wales and is a significant employer of women. Perceptions of equal opportunities (EO) by core staff (i.e., nonseasonal, full-time, and regarded by the employer as permanent staff in "proper" nonseasonal jobs) are important in determining attitudes towards employment in tourism with implications for social inclusion. This article explores power relationships in tourism to identify reasons…

Men’s experience of cosmetic surgery
An existential phenomenological approach was used to explore men’s experience of cosmetic surgery for gynecomastia, with data from an online discussion forum. The sample is described in detail, as are the ethical considerations in using such data. Strategies to maintain high ethical standards are discussed. The data gathered from online discussion forums is likened to gathering pieces of a mosaic, and some consequent difficulties and strengths fo…
How well are infant and young child World Health Organization (WHO) feeding indicators associated with growth outcomes? An example from Cambodia
We assessed eight World Health Organization (WHO) core child feeding indicators for their association with stunting and underweight in Cambodia in 2000 and 2005. We compared the feeding data from the Cambodian Demographic and Health Surveys for 2000 with 2005 for 0-24 months children using the WHO feeding indicators, with stunting and underweight as outcomes. Prevalence of stunting and underweight was significantly less in 2005 than in 2000 among…
The men's health policy contexts in Australia, the UK and Ireland
The state of men's health, internationally, is a deep public health concern. Despite pressure from the World Health Organisation that all health policy should consider the specific needs of both men and women through their push for ‘gender mainstreaming’, and increased interest in men's health, there have been relatively few gendered policy responses relating to men's health. In this article, we compare the men's health policy contexts in Austral…

World Health Organization (WHO) infant and young child feeding indicators
Eight World Health Organization (WHO) feeding indicators (FIs) and Demographic and Health Survey data for children <24 months were used to assess the relationship of child feeding with stunting and underweight in 14 poor countries. Also assessed were the correlations of FI with country gross national income (GNI). Prevalence of underweight and stunting increased with age and ≥ 50% of 12-23-month children were stunted. About 66% of babies received…
