Esquire magazine (esquire.com)."It's a stereotype about men that they don't like to go to the doctor, that they'd rather just go when there's a problem," says Ryan D'Agostino, articles editor for Esquire. "We had hoped it wasn't this true," he says, but the survey found 45% don't even have a primary-care doctor.Men need to have a physician and go for a checkup at least once a year because "so many health care problems are because of lack of preventive care," he says. Other findings in the April issue, out today:•75% say they get sick one to three times a year.•39% say they could stand to lose 20 pounds or more.•58% say they think about the healthiness of what they eat but indulge sometimes; 21% think about it at every meal; 21% say it hardly crosses their mind.div>
