The Decades of Life model of men's health recognises that men of different ages have different health concerns including impotence, heart disease, prostate, diabetes, obesity and more. For example, younger men face a high risk of injury from motor vehicle accidents, while for older men diseases such as prostate cancer and heart disease are of greater concern.
