Men’s Health Awareness Month
M/A/R/C’s research indicates that Gen X men are weighed down by anxiety for themselves and others, a potentially troubling sign for their long-term health outlook.
Consistent with M/A/R/C®’s findings, a study from The Ohio State University concluded that measures of physical health have worsened for Gen Xers. M/A/R/C’s research indicates that Gen X men are weighed down by anxiety for themselves and others, a potentially troubling sign for their long-term health outlook.
“…without effective policy interventions, these disturbing trends won’t be temporary, but a battle we’ll have to continue to fight.*”
- Hui Zheng, author of the OSU study
Gen X men trail other generations in PCP visitation, reducing their opportunity to tap into needed resources to address the impact of anxiety and apathy issues..
Gen Xers' needs can be lost, sandwiched between society's more overt focus on millennials and boomers. Visibility and prioritization need to better address issues specific to male Gen Xers.
Resources focused on managing anxiety and increasing preventative healthcare practices should be targeted to Gen X men as well.
