During Movember (the month formerly known as November), Members of the NCCUA are growing a Mo to help support men's health and the fight against male depression and prostate cancer. Why...
-
Depression affects 1 in 6 men...Most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
-
Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who die from breast cancer annually.
- Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 5 years less than females.
