Social Determinants of Male Health: A Case Study of Leeds, England

The social determinants of health have a disproportionate impact on mortality in men.  A study into the state of health of the male population in Leeds, England, was undertaken to guide public health commissioning decisions.  This study found that 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 emerged, with marked gender differences in the social determinants of health and males appearing to be more negatively affected.  Find out more at: https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186/s12889-018-5076-7
