The Big Three: Know Your Numbers

Men are often less likely to see a doctor regularly or get preventive screenings — which means serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes or prostate cancer may go undetected until it’s too late. Black and brown men face are at higher risk for these health conditions.

These conditions are preventable or treatable, especially when caught early:

High blood pressure: Men of color are more likely to develop high blood pressure at a younger age. Monitoring your blood pressure regularly — at home, at the doctor or at a community event — is the first step to prevention.

Prostate cancer: Screening saves lives. Men of color are at higher risk, but prostate cancer can be treated if caught early through a simple blood test.

Diabetes: Men of color are at higher riskof developing diabetes in their lifetime. A quick finger-prick blood test can catch it early and help you prevent serious complications.
