What is Andrology?
'''Andrology''' is the study of male health, especially male sexual organs and reproduction. It is similar to the study of women's health, called [[gynaecology]]. Andrology has only been studied since the late [[1960s]]. The first specialist journal on the subject was the [[Germany|German]] periodical ''Andrologie'', published from [[1969]] onwards.<ref>''Social Studies of Science'' (1990) '''20''', p. 32</ref> Men are more susceptible to [[heart disease]] than women. They also usually have a slightly shorter natural [[average life span]]. However, men get many conditions, such as [[osteoporosis]], less than women. == Notes == <references /> == Other websites == * [http://andrology.org/ International Society of Andrology] * [http://andrology.com/ The World of Andrology] {{Biology-stub}} [[Category:Medical specialties]]
