Nearly 40 percent of Generation Z men do not have a primary care provider, according to a Cleveland Clinic survey.   The survey defines Generation Z as including people born between 1997 and 2005.   Thirty-seven percent of Gen Z men do not have an established primary care provider — the highest rate of any age group in the survey.   Millennials comprise the second-highest number of men who do not have an established primary care provider, at 27 percent.  Meanwhile, 17 percent of Generation Xers do not have a primary care provider, and 7 percent of baby boomers and older do not have a primary care provider, according to survey data shared with The Hill.   The poll surveyed 1,000 men on health concerns and habits to highlight generational differences.   Petar Bajic, director of the Center for Men’s Health at the Cleveland Clinic, said health risks linked to age and family history make having a relationship with a primary care provider “essential,” even for younger men.  “Monitoring key indicators in men like blood pressure and cholesterol in addition to sexual health concerns is crucial because we know that these can often signal a larger underlying health condition,” Bajic said in a statement.   Pollsters found that men, regardless of age, worry about how their current habits will impact their future health.   Overall, 87 percent of men said they are concerned about how their current health habits will affect their health in the future, survey data show.
