This is why they are found to be living less healthy lives than women. The leading causes of deaths in men, as identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are cardiovascular disease, cancer, accidents, chronic lower respiratory disease and stroke.

Among cancers, the most prevalent are lung, colorectal and prostate cancers. Some research studies found prostate cancer as the second, while others claim that it is the third leading cause of death in men. In both cases, it poses great risk to men’s health.
