[Men, gender and health]

Men have always been present on the public health agenda, primarily from a clinical and epidemiological standpoint. In order to expand on these approaches, it is necessary to integrate a perspective that takes into account the relationship between gender and health. Furthermore, these discussions must include reflections on the intersectionality of gender (masculinities) with other categories of social differentiation such as race, ethnicity, social class, age, and sexuality. The articles selected from the call for papers on men, gender, and health at Salud Colectiva offer theoretical and empirical contributions that will undoubtedly enrich this debate. Although the articles presented here do not explore every possible aspect of this complex problem, they provide a starting point for a productive debate on the tensions and gaps that still remain in discussions of these issues.
