Abstract:

Objective. To evaluate men´s health perceptions under male and female perspectives. Methods. A random sample of 1,894 men and 20 women 1,991 aged from 20 to 59 years old, users of the unified health system, residents in the capitals of Brazilian States and in the Federal District, was subjected to an interview by mobile telephone. Socio-demographic variables and variables related to the perception of the health service, health situation and health care were recorded. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the reason for not search of care and the good and very good self-care. Results. The majority of the population evaluated considers themselves without health problems, especially men. The main cause of the no treatment is the lack of access to care, although men and women assess the services receiving them properly. Self-medication reaches more than 40% of men and nearly 30% of women. Conclusions. Men realize taking good care of your health, controversially to the women vision, being that perceptions differ when you take into account age, education, ethnicity and occupational situation.
