For good or ill, roughly 10 million adults search the Internet for health information on a given day, according to a study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Eighty-two percent of online women and 77 percent of online men have done so at some point. The proportion of people who are online “health seekers,” as the report dubs them, is highest in the 30-49 age bracket (84 percent) and lowest in the 65-plus cohort (68 percent).
