MARCOS-MARCOS, Jorge; MATEOS, José Tomás; GASCH-GALLEN, Àngel  e  ALVAREZ-DARDET, Carlos. The study of men’s health from a gender-based perspective: where we come from, where we are going. Salud colect. [online]. 2020, vol.16, e2246. ISSN 1669-2381.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18294/sc.2020.2246.

Comprehensive and in-depth analyses of differences and inequalities in health require a broad-based approach to the study of masculinities and men’s health. Interest in this issue has grown in parallel to increased concern over specific risks and vulnerabilities faced by men, but also due to the need to involve them in programs capable of promoting progress towards gender-based health equity. This article attempts to reframe these issues from the perspective of public health, providing a wider viewpoint on men’s health situated within debates on the social determinants of health and the analysis of health inequalities. Based on a relational gender approach, we formulate some recommendations regarding policy and research agendas, which we argue can contribute to advancing the study and development of programs from a gender-based perspective in health.
