<p>Most men need to pay more attention to their health. Compared to women, men are more likely to:</p><ul> <li>Smoke and drink</li> <li>Make unhealthy or risky choices</li> <li>Put off regular checkups and medical care</li> </ul> <p>There are also health conditions that only affect men, such as <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/prostatecancer.html">prostate cancer</a> and low testosterone. Many of the major health risks that men face - like <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/colorectalcancer.html">colon cancer</a> or <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/heartdiseases.html">heart disease</a> - can be prevented and treated with early diagnosis. Screening tests can find diseases early, when they are easier to treat. It's important to get the screening tests you need.</p>
