Men's health emerged as a discrete academic and political concern in the 1990s, largely due to the wide success of Men's Health magazine. A Rodale, Inc. publication, Men's Health was founded in 1987. A greater understanding of women's health issues had been one of the successes of the feminist movement, a development that drew attention to the fact that while men had dominated most societies in most fields, this did not extend to health and to life expectancy. By 2008, it was still the case that in the vast majority of countries, rich and poor, women could expect to outlive men. In the United States, men's health issues are raised by, among others, Men's Health Network (MHN). MHN is a non-profit educational organization comprised of physicians, researchers, public health workers, other health professionals, and individuals. MHN is committed to improving the health and wellness of men, boys, and their families through education campaigns, data collection, surveys, toll-free hotlines, and work with health care providers. MHN conducts screenings in the workplace and at public venues, sponsors conferences and symposia, and promotes awareness periods such as Men's Health Month and Men’s Health Week.
