Harrington Highlights U.S. Men's 5-Year Life-Expectancy Gap, Urges June Health Push

Summary
Robert A. Harrington used a LinkedIn post to spotlight that men in the United States live nearly five years less than women and urged men to recommit to exercise and health in June.
Heart disease and cancer remain leading causes of death for both sexes, but he said men also face higher death rates from accidents, injuries and suicide.
Harrington framed the gap as a medical and public-health challenge, calling on physicians to promote healthier behavior, treat men's medical problems and support their mental health.
