My sister-in-law, Donna Cimons, 77, a retired nurse anesthetist who lives on a farm near Cambridge, Ohio, began losing her hair as a teenager. She woke up each morning to find tufts of hair scattered across her pillow. By age 50, she was bald. She knew this problem ran in her family – her mother had it, too – but not much else. “It had a name, alopecia areata, but that was all,” she says, speaking of the scant knowledge 60 or more years ago. “We really didn’t know what…

A common hormone therapy to treat prostate cancer may double a man’s risk of dementia, regardless of his age, found a recent study conducted by Penn Medicine researchers. Last year, the researchers discovered a dramatic association between Alzheimer’s disease and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), a mainstay of treatment for prostate cancer since the 1940s currently used in over a half million men in the United States.

Weight-loss expert Andrew Dickson has advice for men on a favourite topic: beer. Beer is a problem for men. It’s as simple as that. It’s the average bloke’s socially acceptable way to catch up with a mate, or relax after mowing the lawns. It’s the main feature of Friday afternoon ‘beer-o’clock’. I got suckered in by this social norm when I was overweight – I drank beer every day and extra on the weekends. I still love beer – most varieties, and most blends. It’s refreshing, cool and easy.

Austerity measures undertaken by governments as a result of economic crisis have driven young men to become spornosexual and to seek value instead through their bodies, says a study. Spornosexuality which is a fusion of “sports star” and “porn star” was coined in July 2014 and pointed out the rise of men attending the gym primarily for reasons of appearance, rather than for health or fitness.
