New book encourages men to take better care of themselves

A new book to be published on Thursday will address the problem of men being ill informed about health matters that could kill them.

Men in the UK are more likely to die from heart disease, cancer or stroke than any other cause, but many fail to seek medical help until they are suffering from distressing symptoms.

The new book – Over 50s Men’s Health Check by Dr Roger Henderson – aims to help men understand potential health risks and look out for symptoms that could lead to early diagnosis.

It also discusses new advances in treatment and diagnosis.

The book costs £6.99 and is published by Piatkus Books.
