Overview

The Men Androgen Inflammation Lifestyle Environment and Stress (MAILES) study is one of Australia's most comprehensive biomedical studies on male health and wellbeing with ageing. 2584 South Australian community dwelling men aged 35 to 80 years from the northern and western suburbs of Adelaide have generously provided their time to provide data that continues to improve our understanding of health trajectories of men over time, the risk factors for, and inter-relatedness of conditions commonly effecting men and using this knowledge to inform preventative health strategies, and to improve screening and early intervention, treatment approaches and outcomes.
