How living in London is seriously harming men's health

'Living in London can seriously damage men’s health, a new study reveals today.

It points to shocking disparity across the capital, with life expectancy in some areas up to 17 years shorter than in others.

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism study shows that the NHS is failing to improve the chances of men surviving heart disease and cancer — key factors to blame for early death.

Both conditions can be triggered by poor diet, smoking, drinking and lack of exercise. Suicide is another leading cause of death, especially among young men.

Experts blame health chiefs for failing to invest in initiatives targeted at men to help them improve their physical and mental wellbeing. Only a handful of health trusts in the capital commission services specifically for the male population, according to the Bureau’s findings.'
