Men are more likely than women to die prematurely, and a great deal of men’s excess mortality is preventable. Improving men’s health and cognition is not only critical for achieving gender equality, but also for enhancing and extending men’s potential to contribute to their families, the labour market and society as populations grow older.
HOMME studies how men’s (changing) family and working lives influence their health and cognition. To date, insufficient research has addressed the consequences of these changes on men’s health and cognition. HOMME utilizes on the wealth of available data to examine the relationship between men’s rapidly changing family and working lives and cognition across adulthood, as well as across cohorts, periods and between communities.
