Health behaviours in children and youth aged 7 to 16 years

2010 
The study aimed at describing selected health behaviors of 470 subjects aged 7 to 16 years from Jedlina Zdroj. The frequency of the meals eaten and physical activity were estimated by means of a standardized multiple choice questionnaire. In both sexes the number of hours spent on physical activity rose significantly with age. The time of physical activity in older boys was significantly higher than in their female peers. Similarly, the percentage of children skipping breakfast and the second breakfast increased with age. The amount of fruit and vegetables eaten decreased with age of the subjects. At school milk was drunk by very few boys only.
