Men’s Health Month was established in 1994 to raise awareness of health conditions commonly affecting men and to promote preventive measures that foster early detection and treatment. The national designation of June as Men’s Health Month sheds light on health conditions that impose a disproportionate burden on males in terms of increased morbidity and premature mortality.
The June 2014 edition of HIDI HealthStats highlights the health of Missouri men.
