老年男性的阳刚理想如何影响他们的健康？这段关系中有男性活动吗？男性身份支持男性行为的信念。这些信念可能对男性有害，并可能导致给他们带来过度压力的行为。我们研究男性理想如何与老年男性的健康和抑郁症状相关联。我们使用2011年威斯康辛纵向研究（n = 2594）的数据来调查男性理想如何影响老年男性的健康状况，以及参与男性化活动如何影响这些结果。这项研究的结果表明，传统的男性理想与较差的自评健康（SRH）、更大的慢性疾病和抑郁症状有关。对于男性活动，修理和保养汽车与较少的慢性疾病和抑郁有关。属于老年男性群体与更严重的SRH、更大的慢性疾病和更大的抑郁症有关。因此，老年男性对传统男性理想的更多认可通常与较差的健康状况有关，尽管某些男性活动影响了这种关系。我们假设，更多的性别平等观念可能有助于改善“男性健康差距”。
How do older men’s masculine ideals affect their health? Are masculine activities involved in this relationship? Masculine identity upholds beliefs about masculine enactment. These beliefs can be detrimental to men and can lead to behaviors that can put undue stress on them. We examine how masculine ideals are associated with health and depressive symptomatology in older men. We used 2011 data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (n = 2,594) to investigate how masculine ideals inform older men’s health and how participation in masculine activities might shape these outcomes. Findings from this study illustrate that traditional masculine ideals are associated with worse self-rated health (SRH), greater chronic illness, and depressive symptomatology. For masculine activities, doing repairs and car maintenance was associated with less chronic illness and depression. Belonging to a senior men’s group was associated with worse SRH, greater chronic illness, and greater depression. Therefore, older men’s greater endorsement of traditional masculine ideals was generally associated with worse health, though certain masculine activities affected this relationship. We posit that more gender-equitable beliefs may be useful for improving the “men’s health gap.”
