Features: Although men's health issues have already received significant attention in developed countries, this issue has only recently garnered increasing concern in developing countries. Particularly in Asia, with many countries having a large elderly population, the focus tends to be more on aging issues. While Asian men bear the heavy responsibility of supporting their families, traditionally women have been more concerned with health issues. This may be an unintended benefit of vanity—women have learned how to maintain their health while meticulously caring for their appearance. Men have become aware of the importance of understanding the diseases that accompany aging and are making efforts to stay healthy. It can be predicted that with the advancement of technology and the growing awareness of health, men will become healthier throughout their lives. What is male psychology? What drives men to display masculinity? What is the relationship between male characteristics and social roles? Addressing the confusion men may encounter as they transition from boys to men, The Book for Boys Only provides scientific answers.
