Men’s Health Week – What's Your Score?

13th-19th June 2011 is Men’s Health Week – What's Your Score?

This year Kiwi men can take a quick online test to give them a snapshot of their health.

The tool is live now and gives you an idea of what you may need to get checked out with your GP. Find out what YOUR SCORE is at www.menshealthweek.co.nz

Men's Health Week is about drawing attention to male specific preventable health issues and acknowledging the important contribution men make to our lives - at work, home and in the community.

Every hour 2 New Zealand men die of a preventable illness

Men's Health Week 2011 is about all areas of men's health - from lifestyle and wellbeing to areas of physical, mental, emotional and sexual health. But the key is to start taking simple steps today that will ensure our kiwi men are around for their whanau and enjoying a fulfilling life for many years to come. It can be as easy as some daily exercise and a regular yearly check-up with a GP.

At the Men’s Health Week website you’ll find a lot of useful health information as well as some fantastic services providing help and information for men. Take your time to look around.
