Knowledge of adults of childbearing age about a healthy lifestyle in the spring of 2007

Abstract

The relatively poor health indicators of the Hungarian population are largely due to the population's unhealthy lifestyle. Some members of the authors' working group have been studying for years how much the population knows about a healthy lifestyle, and to what extent this knowledge meets the expectations of our time. The 12 points of the Healthy Lifestyle compiled by Prof. Dr. Simon Tamás have been used as indicators since 1993. Studies have already been conducted on the knowledge of these points - in 1999 and 2000 among schoolchildren, and in the spring of 2006 among teachers. The previous two surveys are supplemented by this survey, in which the knowledge of adults of parenting age was assessed and compared with the 12 points of the Healthy Lifestyle.
