Abstract

Background
Men in Europe have a lower life expectancy compared to women, and the quality of life for men all over
Europe is below the women in the last years of their lives. In addition, the men during a lifetime, are not
using the institutions for health care in the same extent as women. This situation is enhanced if the man
lives alone and does not have an education or is shortly educated. For decades many kinds of interventions
have been carried out to prevent this situation and despite we still do not have methods that can prevent
this situation effectively.
Purpose
In this study, we ask how it is possible to influence on behavior in health among young men to prevent this
situation later in their lives.
Method and content
The study has two groups of intervention and a group of control. All three groups are asked twice with
selected dimensions of European Health Interview Survey (EHIS). In addition, group 1 and 2 are presented
for several playful ways of measuring physical performance. Group 1 furthermore was taught 6 lessons
about the respiration, heart and blood, muscles and training. The group of control (group 3) only answered
the survey. The intension is to get 400 answers or more in the study equally distributed between the three
groups.
Perspectives
The study is work in progress and the results will currently be carried out. In addition to the survey we are
preparing interviews with informants from the three groups. We will furthermore compare the results from
EHIS with answers from other countries in Europe.
