‘I’m the lucky one’ – more than one in three young men now live with their parents

• Rising proportion of young men at home: Over one-third of men aged 20-34 now live with parents—the highest figure since 2007—driven primarily by cost-of-living pressures.
• Socioeconomic determinant of health: GPs should recognize housing insecurity and financial strain as social determinants affecting mental health, wellbeing, and healthcare-seeking behaviour in young adult patients.
• Clinical implications for young men's health: Consider financial stress and housing precarity when assessing cardiovascular risk, mental health, and health behaviours in this demographic during consultations.

Last year, the highest proportion of men aged 20-34 were still living at home since at least 2007 as the rising cost of living takes hold.
