# Men's health concerns: time to tackle your health
## Take a look at the results of a major men's health survey carried out by
TENA Men, covering everything from appearance and fitness, to obesity and
bladder weakness.
![Men: it's time to tackle your health][1]
Men: it's time to tackle your health
By Michael Bennett 11:08AM BST 24 May 2011
Men are aware of their health as never before. They have far greater knowledge
of diet than their fathers, and are mostly happy with their health and
appearance.
This exclusive _Daily Telegraph_ survey for TENA _Men_ shows that today's
45-plus men are probably the most mind and body aware generation ever. Most
have a positive attitude towards their health and are taking steps to stay in
good shape. Almost all would consult a doctor if they had concerns, half go
for regular health MOTs and a similar number have adopted simple checks to
spot problems.
Age, it seems, breeds contentment. Astonishingly, 90 per cent of men over 75
said they were happy with their life as it was - a figure far higher than that
for those who are 25 years younger.
But there are lingering fears. A sizeable minority said they had grown more
concerned about their health as the years passed. Worryingly, certain
conditions were less likely to prompt 45-plus men to consult a doctor,
including obesity, bladder weakness and erectile dysfunction. Of those with
these conditions, many fail to seek professional advice, perhaps out of
anxiety or embarrassment.
Nevertheless, most men demonstrated confidence about their appearance,
parrying a question about who they would most like to look like. It is no
surprise, perhaps, that of the men who did volunteer an answer, 29 per cent
picked Pierce Brosnan, an actor associated with that most enduring of roles -
James Bond.
