Abstract

Urologists can bridge the gender gap in life expectancy through the promotion of a holistic and streamlined approach to men's health that incorporates optimisation of lifestyle factors (smoking cessation, weight loss, diet) and comorbidities (treatment of hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, and hypogo-nadism) and offers cancer screening.
