Health concerns of aging men

The older man's significant health concerns have relevant implications for practice. The identification of and discussion about the issues of health, retirement, dependency, and sexuality of the older man represent a good beginning to understanding the health concerns of the aging man; however, it is only a beginning. There still remains a critical need for additional studies to elucidate other sex-related differences in aging as well as to clarify how these differences affect the lifestyles and the health care of both older men and women.
