Survey Reveals Nearly 40% Of Gen Z Men Lack Primary Care Providers

by Shreeya

A recent survey conducted by the Cleveland Clinic reveals that nearly 40 percent of Generation Z men lack a primary care provider, raising alarms about their health management. The survey, which defines Generation Z as individuals born between 1997 and 2005, indicates that 37 percent of these young men do not have established healthcare providers—the highest percentage among all age groups surveyed.

In contrast, 27 percent of Millennials and 17 percent of Generation Xers also reported not having a primary care provider. The data, collected from 1,000 male respondents, underscores significant generational health disparities and concerns. Notably, only 7 percent of baby boomers and older adults lack primary care relationships.

Petar Bajic, director of the Center for Men’s Health at the Cleveland Clinic, emphasizes the critical need for younger men to establish healthcare connections. “Having a primary care provider is essential,” Bajic stated. “Regular monitoring of indicators like blood pressure and cholesterol, alongside addressing sexual health concerns, can reveal underlying health issues early.”

The survey also highlights that 87 percent of men, across all age groups, are worried about how their current health habits may affect their future wellbeing. This growing concern suggests an urgent need for outreach and education on the importance of regular health check-ups, especially among younger demographics.
