In Newcastle and across Tyne and Weir, men's health is raising red flags.
00:06
In the North East, male life expectancy dipped to around 77.2 years between 2020 and 2022,
00:13
a drop from 78 before the pandemic. That's the lowest figure in the UK outside of Scotland.
00:20
Men aged 65 here live around 16.7 more years, below many other regions.
00:26
We're seeing higher rates of chronic illness, heart and lung problems, diabetes,
00:30
as well as growing mental health struggles.
00:32
Local services warn early detection and community outreach is critical.
00:36
As the National Men's Health Call for Evidence reaches here, Newcastle must be included, say experts.
00:42
We need local screening, mental wellbeing support and health campaigns crafted to reach northern men,
00:47
so this strategy can really save lives.
00:49
With the North East continuing to face some of the UK's toughest health challenges,
00:54
charities say stronger outreach and earlier support are key.
