International Men's Health Week is an international week celebrated in several countries to focus on issues facing men's health. International Men's Health Week began at an international level in 2002 when representatives from six men's health organizations around the world met at the 2nd World Congress on Men's Health in Vienna, Austria and resolved to work together to launch International Men's Health Week (IMHW.) Observers of Men’s Health Week are sometimes seen wearing a blue ribbon as a symbol of their support for the fight against prostate cancer. However, problems affecting men's health extend far beyond prostate cancer and other commonly recognized men's illnesses. Physicians and men's health activists mark Men's Health Week with awareness campaigns to highlight additional health concerns such as diabetes, osteoperosis, family health, workplace accidents, and men's higher likelihood of suicide or being a victim of homicide. ==Vienna Declaration== The European Men's Health Forum returned to Austria in 2005 to create the Vienna Declaration which serves as a plan of action for improving the state of men's health. According to the Society for Men's Health and Gender, the five main points of the Vienna Declaration are: *Recognizing men's health is a critical issue and that there are health issues which only affect men *Promoting awareness of men's approach to health *Changing the way health care is provided to be more sensitive towards men's needs *Creating school and community programs which target boys and young men *Connecting health and social policies to better pursue men's health goals 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Men's Health Week」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
