| Description | Using an anonymous questionnaire of 27 items, a sample of 485 pupils of 4 high chools in Brno was approached. The research was focused on the level of knowledge about diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure, and selected factors of lifestyle. It was not found that girls know significantly more than boys about civilization diseases and healthy lifestyle. Likewise, the difference in knowledge between pupils of first and fourth grades was not verified either. Similarly, it was not confirmed that schools that are generally aimed at having a greater understanding of the problem than schools that are more profiled and focus on mathematics or informatics. |
