The Real Face of Men's Health
Every day, more than 35 men in Scotland are dying before their 75th birthday.
Movember’s new report lays bare the scale of the crisis and calls on the Scottish Government to answer it with a fully costed, cross-government Men’s Health Action Plan.
The Real Face of Men’s Health: Scotland Report 2026 shows that men in Scotland are 50% more likely than women to die prematurely, a gap found in every single Scottish Parliamentary constituency.
It’s time to advocate for more action around men’s health
We all have partners, fathers, brothers, sons, and mates that we love. When these men are well, the benefits ripple through relationships, families, and communities. But when these men are unwell and unsupported, we all feel it.
Too many men are dying too young, largely from preventable causes. Help-seeking can feel foreign, so many men kick the can down the road. When they do seek assistance, they often don’t get the support they need. And this puts enormous pressure on the families and communities who care for men.
It means we've got so many reasons to care about men's health. And it's why we must advocate for more public action to drive change.
