Gender Differences in Selected Aspects of Healthy Diet in the Educational Process

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

A healthy diet during childhood and adolescence is known to reduce the risks of both immediate nutrition-related health problems (obesity and dental caries) and noncommunicable diseases in later life (cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer). The WHO/FAO report recommends 400g edible fruit and vegetables per day as a population-wide intake goal for the prevention of NCDs, as well as for the prevention and alleviation of several micronutrient deficiencies. This translates to roughly 5 portions per day. Methods: The main objective of the research study was to identify gender differences in the consumption of fruit and vegetables by pupils and students in selected schools. The main data collection method was a questionnaire aimed at the lifestyle of pupils and students in the Olomouc region. The data were analysed by the Statistica 10.0 programme, and the chi-squared test was used. For all statistical methods used in the study the threshold level of significance was 5 %. Results: The research sample consisted of 1,084 girls and 1,153 boys. The results of the survey suggest that girls consume fruit every day and vegetables on several days of a school week. Boys consume fruit and vegetables on several days a week but not daily. According to the statistical analysis, the difference in the consumption of fruit and vegetables between genders is significant.
