More men worry about their body shape and appearance -- beer bellies or going bald -- than women do about how they look, according to recent research, The Guardian reported.

More than four in five men (80.7 percent) talk in ways that raise anxiety about their body image by referring to perceived flaws and imperfections, compared with 75 percent of women.

Similarly, 38 percent of men would sacrifice at least a year of their life in exchange for a perfect body, also a higher proportion than women.

The survey also revealed that some men resort to compulsive exercise, strict diets, laxatives or making themselves sick in an attempt to lose weight or achieve a more toned physique.

男人比女人更在乎體型

???????英國《衛報》報道，根據最近研究發現，男人比女人更在乎他們的體型和相貌，如啤酒肚、禿頂。

???????超八成（80.7%）的男人談及外在的缺陷不足時，表現出對身體意象的焦慮，而只有75%的女人有此表現。

???????類似地，38%的男人愿意少活一年或以上來換取完美身材，這個比例也比女人高。

???????該調查還顯示，一些男子強制鍛煉，嚴格控制飲食，用輕瀉劑，或把自己弄病，以此來減肥，造就更佳的體型。
