Health consciousness in the life style and scale of values of the Hungarian young people

The aim of the research was based on the regretful fact that the health condition of the Hungarian population is in a critical state, taking into consideration the death rate and the life expectancy figures, the situation foreshadows an even darker picture of the future. To change the approach of the population (life style, values, nutrition, behaviour, culture, etc.) we have to start the educational „reprogramming” work. To get the results of our aims we have carried out primary research based on personal questionnaires. The research was conducted on the basis of a representative sample involving the whole area of Hungary. Including the pilot and the whole sample altogether 1526 valid questionnaires were processed. When processing the data we carried out simple comparative statistical examinations by using Chi-square tests significance analyses and an analysis of variance was also conducted for the multiple variable statistical tests (ANOVA). We have to note that the importance of health does not automatically mean health consciousness neither in food consumption nor in life style. So the aim is to consider health not only as an important value, but also through consciousness it should mean a real life style.
