原标题：男性不得不了解的十大健康问题

If you take better care of your car or favorite gadget than your body, you aren’t alone. According to the Men’s Health Network, a lack of awareness, weak health education, and unhealthy work and personal lifestyles have caused a steady deterioration of the well-being of American men.

大多数人都会很好的照顾自己的车和其他喜欢的小玩意，而忽略了自己的身体也需要照顾。根据男性健康网络所述，缺乏健康意识、健康教育薄弱、不健康的工作和个人生活方式导致了美国男性健康状况的持续恶化。

Visit your medical provider to learn how you can reduce your risk of common conditions facing men, such as cancer, depression, heart disease, and respiratory diseases.

你可以去医疗公司或者医院进行检查和咨询，进而了解如何减少你正在面临的风险，如癌症、抑郁、心脏病和呼吸系统疾病。

HEART HEALTH

心脏健康

Heart disease comes in many forms. All of its forms can lead to serious, fatal complications if undetected. The American Heart Association states that more than one in three adult men have some form of cardiovascular disease. African-American men account for 100,000 more cardiovascular disease deaths than Caucasian men.

心脏病有多种形式，如果不及时发现，它的所有形式都可能导致严重的致命的并发症。美国心脏协会表示，超过三分之一的成年人患有某种心血管疾病。非裔美国人的心血管疾病死亡人数比白人男性多10万人。

COPD and other respiratory diseases

慢性阻塞性肺病和其他呼吸系统疾病。

Many respiratory diseases start with an innocent “smoker’s cough.” Over time, that cough can lead to life-threatening conditions, such as lung cancer, emphysema, or COPD. All of these conditions interfere with your ability to breathe.

许多呼吸系统疾病都是从看似无辜的“吸烟者的咳嗽”开始的。随着时间的推移，这种咳嗽会导致危及生命的疾病，如肺癌、肺气肿或慢性阻塞性肺病。所有这些情况都会影响你的呼吸能力。

If you have smoked for more than 30 years, a low-dose CT scan maybe prudent to screen for lung cancer.

如果你吸烟超过30年，低剂量的CT扫描可能会对肺癌筛查有帮助。

Alcohol: Friend or foe?

酒精：朋友还是敌人?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), men face higher rates of alcohol-related deaths and hospitalizations than women do. Men binge drink twice as much as women. They are also prone to increased aggression and sexual assault against women.

根据美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)的数据，男性与酒精相关的死亡和住院的比率要高于女性。男人酗酒的程度是女人的两倍。同时喝酒的男子还容易对妇女进行施暴和性侵犯。

Alcohol consumption increases your risk for cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, and colon. Alcohol also interferes with testicular function and hormone production. This can result in impotence and infertility. According to the CDC, men are more likely than women to commit suicide. They also are more likely to have been drinking prior to doing so.

饮酒会增加你患口腔、咽喉、食道、肝脏和结肠癌症的风险。酒精还会干扰睾丸功能和激素分泌。这可能导致阳痿和不育。根据疾病预防控制中心的数据，男性比女性更容易自杀。他们在这样做之前也更有可能喝酒。

Depression and suicide

抑郁症和自杀

Researchers at The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimate that at least 6 million men suffer from depressive disorders, including suicidal thoughts, annually.

美国国家心理健康研究所(NIMH)的研究人员估计，每年至少有600万人患有抑郁症，包括萌生自杀想法。

Unintentional injuries and accidents

意外伤害和事故

The CDC lists unintentional injury as a leading cause of death for men in 2006. This includes drowning, traumatic brain injuries, and fireworks-related mishaps.

美国疾病控制和预防中心将意外伤害列为2006年男性死亡的主要原因。这包括溺水、脑外伤和与火灾有关的事故。

Motor vehicle death rates for male drivers and passengers ages 15 to 19 were almost twice that of females in 2006. Male workers incurred 92 percent of the 5,524 total reported fatal occupational injuries. Remember, safety first.

2006年，年龄在15岁至19岁之间的男性司机和乘客的机动车死亡率几乎是女性的两倍。在5524份报告中，男性员工中有92%是致命的职业伤害。记住，安全第一。

Liver disease

肝脏疾病

Your liver is the size of a football. It helps you digest food and absorb nutrients. It also rids your body of toxic substances. Liver disease includes conditions such as: cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, autoimmune or genetic liver diseases

你的肝脏和足球差不多大。它能帮助你消化食物和吸收营养。它还会消除你体内的有毒物质。肝脏疾病包括：肝硬化、病毒性肝炎、自身免疫性或遗传性肝病。

According to the American Cancer Society, alcohol and tobacco use increases your chance of developing liver disease.

根据美国癌症协会，酒精和烟草的使用会增加你患肝病的几率。

Diabetes

糖尿病

If left untreated, diabetes can lead to nerve and kidney damage, heart disease and stroke, and even vision problems or blindness. Men with diabetes face a risk of lower testosterone levels and sexual impotence. This can lead to increased depression or anxiety.

如果不及时治疗，糖尿病会导致神经和肾脏损害、心脏病和中风，甚至出现视力问题，包括失明。患有糖尿病的男性还有睾丸激素水平降低以及性无能的风险，这也会导致抑郁或焦虑。
