Why Aren't Cuban Men Healthier?

Why Aren't Cuban Men Healthier? MEDICC Rev. 2020 Jul;22(3):57-58 Authors: Rivero-Pino R Abstract Analyzing any bio-psycho-social paradigm is complex and requires a comprehensive, integrative approach. Parsing the health picture of individuals, as well as whole populations, is no exception. Considering masculinity as a factor may shed light on health status, especially since traditional ideas of 'manhood' work against health promotion and prevention, as revealed in studies worldwide. In fact, these studies show a direct association between traditional understandings of masculinity and risks, vulnerabilities and the construction of health. In the last decade, such observations have received a bit more attention from international agencies. PMID: 32812901 [PubMed - in process]
