[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0x1VE7i. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective : To examine the relation between levels of patriarchy and male health by comparing female homicide rates with male mortality within countries. Hypothesis : High levels of patriarchy in a society are associated with increased mortality among men. Design : Cross sectional ecological study design. Setting : 51 countries from four continents were represented in the data-America, Europe, Australasia, and Asia. No data were available for Africa. Results : A multivariate stepwise linear regression model was used. Main outcome measure was age standardised male mortality rates for 51 countries for the year 1995. Age standardised female homicide rates and GDP per capita ranking were the explanatory variables in the model. Results were also adjusted for the effects of general rates of homicide. Age standardised female homicide rates and ranking of GDP were strongly correlated with age standardised male mortality rates (Pearson's r=0.699 and Spearman's 0.744 respectively) and both correlations achieved significance (p
