O estudo teve como objetivo conhecer a produção científica acerca do cuidado à saúde dos homens. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura na base de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e Caribe em Ciências da Saúde e Scientific Electronic Library Online, no período de 1994 a 2011, utilizando a palavra saúde do homem. Foram selecionados 15 artigos, os quais foram analisados pelo método de análise de conteúdo, emergindo as categorias: a questão de gênero e sua relação com o (des)cuidado da saúde dos homens; o retrato dos serviços no atendimento à saúde dos homens; e as estratégias necessárias para o atendimento da saúde dos homens. Conclui-se que as ideias hegemônicas e normativas de masculinidade repercutem em risco não somente à saúde dos homens, mas também de outras pessoas, carecendo de novas estratégias no atendimento às necessidades dessa população que contemplem, inclusive, questões de gênero.

A review of literature was based in database of Latin-American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information and Scientific Electronic Library Online from 1994 to 2011, using the word health of men. Fifteen papers were selected and analyzed by method of content analysis, emerging these categories: the question of gender and its relationship with care or careless with health in men, the portrait of attendance of health of men; and the strategies needed in this process.
