'The Minister responsible for male health, Warren Snowdon, today launched the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s (AIHW) second male health bulletin, Health of Australia’s males: a focus on five population groups, during a visit to the Murrumbateman Men’s Shed.
The bulletin examines five male population groups at risk of poor health: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males; those living in regional and remote areas; males living in socio-economically disadvantaged areas; males born overseas; and older males.
“This bulletin shows just being a part of these groups can have a very mixed impact on health, but often preventable risk factors play a role,” Mr Snowdon said.'
