The 15 leading causes of death by sex, 2009
“Fortunately, our daughters’ and mothers’ health challenges are addressed by seven federal offices of women’s health. Our sons’ and fathers’ are not addressed by a single federal office of men’s health” — despite men’s average shorter life span and poorer health! What would feminists say if the shoe were on the other foot? Continue reading
Another reason for women’s health advocates to ignore men’s heart disease
“After taking into account patients’ age, men had a 31 percent higher risk of dying over the study compared with women, the researchers said.” Continue reading
Men are asleep at the switch on heart disease
Despite heart disease hitting men much harder than it does women, the CDC, because it knows men are asleep and reticent, boldly displays on the left a link to a “WISEWOMAN Program.” There is no WISEMAN Program. Continue reading

“If I had to focus on one illness that claimed men too early, it would be coronary artery disease.” Continue reading
Women’s advocates wrong about why more women die of heart disease than men
Even at very old ages, men die of heart disease at a higher rate than women. At age 85 and above, although more females than males succumbed to the disease in 2003, 5,621 males died per 100,000 population vs. 5,126 females. Continue reading →
