# Men's health concerns: health and happiness
## In a recent men's health survey, TENA Men posed questions about health and
happiness, including which male celebrity men over 50 aspire to.

Men's health concerns
11:45AM BST 24 May 2011
The survey paints a largely cheery picture of 45-plus men's health. It is a
vast improvement on previous generations, but there is still work to do.
Slightly more than half of those surveyed think their health is good or very
good, while only 13 per cent say it is bad and very bad.
A third consider themselves fit, but a quarter do no physical activity - an
extraordinary figure given the many diseases associated with being overweight.
Seven in 10 are pleased with their life as it is. On a less positive note, a
third of respondents worry about their health, especially those aged 45 to 54.
Sixty per cent are aware that life expectancy is increasing and feel that
brings increased pressure to look after their health.
Indeed, worries about health are seen as a greater source of stress than the
modern anxieties of work, relationships and appearance.
Most men, though, are reassuringly keen to take care of themselves. Three
quarters paid more attention to their health than previously.
Just over half go for regular health checks and use self-examination to spot
possible problems such as cancer.
Compared with their fathers' generation, they are more aware of diet and signs
of ill health.
