Our Editorial Standards & Fact-Checking Policy
At Prime Years Men, we are committed to delivering clear, responsible, and evidence-backed wellbeing information for men aged 40 and over. Here is how we research, evaluate, and maintain our guides.

- UK Chief Medical Officers: Physical activity guidelines and weekly movement targets for adults.
- National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE): Clinical evidence and health management standards.
- World Health Organization (WHO): Global health, sleep, and physical longevity benchmarks.

3. Fact-Checking & Ongoing Review Protocol
Health science and nutritional recommendations evolve. Our editorial desk regularly audits published content to ensure that facts, references, and external links remain accurate and up-to-date. Each guide displays its publication edition and source citations clearly.
4. Transparent Corrections Policy
When an error of fact or an outdated reference is identified, we correct the article promptly and transparently. We invite readers to flag any errors or unclear explanations by contacting our editorial desk at [email protected].
