The objectives of this quantitative systematic review with meta-analysis was to assess the effectiveness of self-management support interventions in men with long-term conditions.

Meta-analysis suggested that physical activity, education, and peer support-based interventions have a positive impact on quality of life in men. However, there is currently insufficient evidence to make strong statements about whether self-management support interventions show larger, similar or smaller effects in men compared with women and mixed-sex groups.
