"men's health" magazine has been criticized for its focus on physical health, which can increase men's anxieties about their bodies, making them more prone to eating disorders and compulsive over-exercising. "the new york times" stated, "since its debut in the late 1980s, the magazine has surpassed traditional men's books like "esquire" and "gq" by following the formula of best-selling women's magazines—by catering to men's anxieties about their bodies and sexual performance." "columbia journalism review" stated the magazine "deals overwhelmingly with self-care and, in fact, exaggerates the possibilities for autonomous personal transformation." editor-in-chief zinczenko argued that the magazine worked toward "overcoming the resistance of the 86-percent male audience to health as a subject" and redefining health as "inclusive of everything that could improve a man's life. great sex. great food. endorphin-boosting exercise. looking and feeling your best. we turned health into a concept every guy would want to embrace, starting with the healthy guy on the cover."
