Hi maserati,

You asked:

Quote:

Do you worry about...
Are you worried about...

Both are fine. There is a difference in emphasis between the two. Do you worry about? is a general question as in:

Do you worry about world poverty?

Are you worried about? refers to a particular and current concern as in:

Are you worried about the drought in Kenya?

Hope this clarifies the distinction.
