MAILES Longitudinal Male Ageing Study Research Group

The Men Androgen Inflammation Lifestyle Environment and Stress (MAILES) study is Australia's largest and longest running study on male health and wellbeing with ageing.

2,584 South Australian men aged 35 to 80 years (at recruitment) have been assessed over time, providing data that continues to improve our understanding of risk factors for, and early warning signs of, diabetes, poor heart and metabolic health, sexual health, musculoskeletal health, cancer and mental health, and men's use of health services.

Data collected includes chronic medical conditions, risk factors, prior surgery, overall health status, quality of life, medication use, anthropometry, body composition, demographic, psycho-social and economic factors, as well as plasma and urine samples.
