flag Irish men die prematurely at higher rates than women, driven by preventable causes and a worsening mental health crisis, especially in deprived areas.

flag A new report reveals that men in Ireland are dying prematurely at alarming rates, with 40% more likely than women to die before age 75, mostly from preventable causes like cancer, heart disease, suicide, and accidents. flag Men in deprived areas face 150% higher risk, and four in five suicides involve men, with nearly all GPs reporting treating male patients with suicidal thoughts annually. flag The findings, based on national data and surveys, highlight a deepening mental health crisis, especially among younger men, and call for urgent government action and a €10 million investment in a national men’s health plan to address systemic disparities and save lives.
