Why Men Die First by Marianne J. Legato

Why Men Die First: How to Lengthen Your Lifespan, by Marianne J. Legato, reviewed by Paul Lutenske, Branch Head, Butman-Fish Library (Palgrave, 2008, $27.95, 254 pp.)

From birth on, men are genetically and biologically more fragile than women, and societal norms encourage risky behavior that puts them in jeopardy. Throughout the world, they die an average of seven years earlier than women. This groundbreaking book, by an internationally recognized physician, author and lecturer, examines the reasons behind this and explains what men need to do to live longer. It’s an eye-opening and informative read for men – and the women that love them.
