Recent observations suggest a significant share of Russian men may not reach the age of 65. An expert in reproductive health, speaking at a wellness-focused forum, highlighted that about half of men could be at risk of dying before 65, underscoring a critical public health concern. The discussion also pointed to the high rate of sudden death among men aged 40 to 65, with a large portion leaving work after reaching certain career milestones.
It was noted that retirement age for men born after the mid-1960s remains 65 in many cases, reflecting ongoing pension policy and life-course considerations.
Research referenced in the talk indicated that many men in the 40-to-65 age band show signs of fatty liver disease. Contrary to common assumptions, stress appears to be a more likely driver of this condition than alcohol in this context.
The speaker emphasized that chronic stress, if allowed to accumulate, can have fatal health consequences for men. As a practical approach, anaerobic exercise was highlighted as a key stress-relief strategy, alongside overall healthy lifestyle choices designed to prevent disease.
The expert leading the discussion is associated with a research institute focused on urology and interventional radiology, named after a notable figure in the field.
There is also suggestion that mood disorders may be linked with liver health issues, underscoring the interconnected nature of mental and physical well-being. [Citation: Wellness Forum, medical experts, and related health research summaries]
