%X In an aging society, the nation's total medical expenditures increase. Furthermore, the rising demand for social security benefits places an astronomical financial burden on the nation. The aging of a society involves not only individuals' health problems, but also major social costs, such as increases in the tax rate derived from increases in medical expenditures. In this sense, through focusing on the prevention and treatment of aging-associated diseases in men, men's health research may suggest better solutions for aging-associated diseases at the individual level.
