[Nourishment, physical exercise and their factors among young persons]

The purpose of the study is to describe the needs of health education of the young. It covers 40 comprehensive schools. It was found in the study that the greatest part of milk fats consumed at home consists of butter and low-fat milk. The products consumed by the girls contained less fat and more polyunsaturated fats than the products consumed by the boys. Food at school contained more fat and saturated fats than food at home. 6% of the boys and 11% of the girls reached the recommended level of the consumption of vegetables (not including potato), berries and fruits. Strong correlations were found between parent's and children's diet. About 2/3 of young people had practised physical exercise 3-5 times per week.
