    Background. The aim of the study was to compare chosen aspects of lifestyle of women aged 45-59 and 60-74. Material and methods. The study, carried out between 2013 and 2015, embraced 120 women who engaged in physical activity. Respondents were students of the University of the Third Age in Gorzów Wlkp. and the Elderly and Disabled Activation Center in Piła. Two age categories were distinguished: 45-59 and 60-74 years old. In the study a diagnostic survey was employed, with the use of the techniques of questionnaire, interview and observation. The qualitative and quantitative analysis was carried out with the employment of: frequency of characteristics, chi-squared independence test and multiple correspondence analysis. Results. Older women far more often chose positive health behaviors than those under 60 years of age. There were more current nonsmokers among them, as well as nondrinkers or those who drank less frequently and controlled their health more often. Younger women assessed their own health and physical fitness higher. There were no obese people among the subjects. Conclusions. There is a need for the dissemination of healthy lifestyle among people aged 60+, especially in the situation of an aging population with unstable retirement age. Activation of people belonging to this age group is a chance to improve their life quality.

    Background. Physical inactivity is also a significant problem in East-Central Europe and Hungary where 20% of the population does sports regularly while 53% of them never, in turn, 24% of the people does sports few times monthly. Insufficient physical activity is an increasing public health problem among young people and adolescents. Several types of research examined the quality and extent of physical activity related to different factors (social demographic, psychosocial, and lifestyle, etc.). Material and methods. Interviewing was carried out from April to June 2015 at the same time in each Visegrad country. IPAQ extended physical activity questionnaire and a self-edited questionnaire were used to assess nutritional and activity habits (In order to evaluate data, INDARES software, and paper-based questionnaires were used for 2145 persons from different secondary schools). Results. In low PA level category, male students were rather found while in high PA level category, male students showed higher ratios than females. From 56.7% to 77.8% of male students occurred in high PA level category opposite to female students where this rate was from 42.4% to 67.4%. We found significant gender differences in total MET/week values (p<0.001) in the V4 countries. Conclusions. We found significant differences in the Visegrad countries and between sexes. These differences draw the attention to improving deficiencies in physical activity of secondary school students with well-defined risk group interventions.

    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2016-09-22) Makai, Alexandra ; Füge, Kata ; Breitenbach, Zita ; Figler, Mária
    Background. Decreased physical activity (PA), sedentary lifestyle and inappropriate dietary habits have been observed in modern societies in the past decades. Material and methods. Data were collected in summer, 2014. The representative (by age & gender) sample consisted of 910 adults. The research (entitled “E-Harmónia”) was carried out in two Hungarian counties, Baranya and Zala. We developed a tablet-based survey to examine PA using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) questionnaire and collected anthropometric data with body composition monitors. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS 22.0 for Windows. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Results. The sample size of adult participants was 910, their mean age was 43.2±14.4 years. We examined the level of physical activity in view of sociodemographic inequalities, like gender, age, education, marital status, employment form. Women and aged and young people were found to do carry out significantly less leisure time PA (p<0.05). Furthermore, we found significant relationship in PA and education level, age and employment form of the adults (p<0.001). Conclusions. In the present study according to the IPAQ questionnaires results we found significant differences in physical activity level and sociodemographic parameters, which helps to identify different risk groups to increase the effectiveness of phyisical activity interventions.
