Abstract

Recent research data and evidence from multiple societies demonstrated that men’s health problems have become increasingly worse than women around the world. A World Health Organization (WHO) report published recently described a significant gender gap in life expectancy that, in some regions the average life expectancy for men is 5.1 years less than for women. The primary causes of male premature mortality are cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases. The main risk factors for the aforementioned diseases, are caused by some bad lifestyle habits such as smoking, wine consumption, sedentary, counterbalanced diet, seldom exercise, irregular sleep and etc. Genetic factors are also known to play an important role in people’s health, and much work has been done to identify the genes related specifically to men’s health, such as the genes related to homocysteine level, alcohol metabolism ability, nicotine dependence, prostate specific antigen level, and so on. In this paper, we first describe the genetic risk factors that affect men’s health, then we demonstrate the implementation of a personalized nutrition service specially designed for men based on men’s genetic factors and lifestyles. The personalized nutrition service provides genetic testing, lifestyle assessment, personalized nutrition solution, and personalized nutritional supplements production, so that to improve men’s health effectively.
