Delegates benefited from free health screening tests which included blood glucose, cholesterol, Body Mass Index and blood pressure. Healthcare experts Prof Schalk Wentzel and Dr Caren Yssel shared their insights into wellbeing and relationships relevant to men of this age-group. Guest speaker at the forum was former Springbok rugby star Os du Randt who spoke about the ups and downs of his career and ended by stressing on the importance of taking care of one's health and relationships.

The inaugural Y-Factor Forum was rated as a success and will be rolled out at other major cities in the course of the year.

Lilly acknowledges the highly stressed lives we live in and the impact this has on health, wellbeing and relationships with our partners, more so in men over the age of 40. By engaging in this awareness initiative, Lilly is confident that men over 40 will proactively seek assistance and address their concerns earlier.
