With a healthy lifestyle, men can live to 120

SCIENTISTS say that with one careful owner, the male body could live for 120 years. 

Yet one man in five is dying before the age of 65. Many of those deaths are preventable, so this year’s Men’s Health Week (June 15-21) is focusing on healthy lifestyle.

The Men’s Health Forum (MHF), which organises the week, says men are less likely than women to lead a healthy lifestyle, and are more likely to smoke, drink alcohol to hazardous levels and be overweight or obese.
