Whether it's an unexplained ache or pain, an unusual lump or bump, or worries about sexual health, with today's busy lives too many of us shrug off symptoms and simply decide to get on with our day. 不管是无法言说的疼痛、不正常的肿块还是担心性健康,而今的我们生活忙碌,很多人都会对这些症状不屑一顾,继续过日子。 And it's men who are much more likely than women to ignore health concerns, failing to get expert advice even when they think something might be wrong. In fact, a 2017 survey found that men are much less likely than women to take advantage of primary care services, including community pharmacies. 而男人比女人更容易忽视健康问题,即使当他们觉得事情不对劲时,他们也不会寻求专家的建议。事实上,2017年的一项研究发现:相比女人,男人不太可能利用初级保健服务,包括社区药房。 And it seems that this is one reason why men experience worse long-term health prospects than women. According to the Movember Foundation, which raises funds and campaigns on men's health issues, men die on average six years earlier than women. 好像这也解释了男人的长期健康前景比女人更差的原因。据Movember Foundation(为男性健康问题募集资金和举办活动的基金会)表示,男人平均比女人早离世6年。 |
