Which country makes most trips to the doctor?
THE Japanese make most visits to the doctor of any rich country. Each person goes 13.8 times a year on average according to the OECD. The high rate could be explained in part by Japan's high ratio of older people who require more care. Americans see a doctor less than four times a year, although the high number people without medical insurance may be a factor. Neighbouring Mexicans are the most doctor-shy.
