How much time do you spend thinking about your health and what is you most pressing health-related concern?

"I worry about my health constantly. I am convinced I have a new disease every week."

-- Polly Hager, 36, Colerain, self-employed house cleaner.

"I think about the food I choose to eat at each meal and reversing aging as we are genetically capable."

-- Nancy Motz, 35, West Chester, editor.

"Lots. I'm scared of breast cancer, but my most pressing concern is nutrition and exercise."

-- Marni Penning Minadakis, 28, downtown, marketing director/actress.

"I strive all the time to live in touch with the spirit. This is health, so, I guess, all the time."

-- Marty Lim, 37, Hyde Park, server.

"I don't spend much time worrying about my health, but I'm mostly concerned about being overweight."

-- Martha K. Miller, 35, Florence, performer and writer.

"I spend NO time thinking about my health -- it seems to cause too many self-fulfilling prophecies. My most pressing health-related concerns? Will they find a cure for AIDS before my stepkids grow up."

-- Name withheld

"I think I focus more on making sure I make the most of my time while my health is good because there are no guarantees. My most pressing health-care concern is the horrible state of health-care coverage in this country."

-- Pam McKenna, 32, College Hill, free-lance writer and public relations consultant.

"I smoke. So that is my biggest health concern. Otherwise, I don't worry!"

-- Trina Scinta, 22, Mount Washington, cashier.
