## Recent results of a men's health survey carried out by TENA Men, revealed

Men's health survey with TENA Men: Looking good matters for most men, but only
up to a point
By Michael Bennett 9:56AM BST 26 May 2011
Questions about looks and fitness showed 45-plus men to be comfortable in
their skins. Asked to choose which famous men they would like to resemble in
terms of health and appearance, 29 per cent were inspired by former Bond,
Pierce Brosnan, followed by Steve Redgrave, Paul McCartney, Sting and Tom
Hanks. Some 53 per cent, though, say they are happy as they are.
Two per cent have already enhanced their appearance with cosmetic surgery,
while a surprising 14 per cent say they would consider it in future, mainly
out of pride in appearance or for medical reasons. Few of those considering it
would do so to please or attract a partner.
Among those contemplating cosmetic surgery, their main interest is a tummy
tuck (24 per cent). However, men's interest in health does not extend to
spending large sums of money on maintaining their health through gym
membership, a personal trainer or health insurance. Six out of 10 spend less
than £50 a year on such things.
Just under half also pay out less than £50 a year on toiletries and cosmetics
while only 1 per cent spend more than £300 a year.

**Spending**
Please estimate how much you spend in an average year on toiletries and
cosmetics for yourself, including shaving, grooming requisites and
moisturisers.

**A third of respondents worried about their health **
• Some 37 per cent were more worried about their health than when younger and
more than any other source of stress such as money, work and appearance.
Physical health was considered the biggest concern.
• Of those who responded to the survey, around 75 per cent said that they now
pay more attention to their health than in the past. More than half have
regular health checks.
• Four-fifths felt that sedentary jobs led to more health problems, but,
compared with their fathers' generation, felt they ate better and were more
aware of signs of ill health.
