Nutrients Impacting Men's Health

Men: Demographic Profile

There are almost 3.5 billion males in the world and 57% of those are between the ages of 20 and 65 years old. This huge market of almost 2 billion adult men is in the prime of their productivity. This group is becoming more and more concerned with maintaining good health to help sustain their productivity and to ward off the development of chronic diseases and their associated morbidity and mortality. Given the just over 1% growth rate in the world’s population, the men’s market is also a growing market worldwide. However, regional differences in population growth are evident in different parts of the world (Figure 1). The population of less developed countries is five times that of the more developed countries. Moreover, growth rates as a percent of the region’s population vary by five-fold in developing countries compared to developed countries being 1.3% and 0.26%, respectively.
