“…The BMI of the girls was equal to 18.93 kg/m 2 and that of the boys was equal to 19.03 kg/m 2 . Another report showed that in Polish children aged 10–13 the average BMI was slightly higher and equal to 19.6 kg/m 2 (B—19.9 kg/m 2 ; G—19.3 kg/m 2 ) [ 46 ]. The global BMI in children was also similar: it was equal to 18.60 kg/m 2 for girls and 18.50 kg/m 2 for boys [ 47 ].…”

(1) Background: Children’s overweight and obesity are a growing public health problem. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of physical activity (PA) at school on body mass of children aged 10–12 during 2 years of observation. (2) Methods: Primary school children (n = 245, 48% girls and 52% boys) took part in the study. Children were divided in two groups, (1) of standard PA and (2) of elevated PA at school corresponding to 4 and 10 h of physical education lessons (PE) a week, respectively. Weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) were measured starting from the 4th grade and ending at the 6th grade of school. (3) Results: The number of children with excessive body weight (overweight and obese) increased by ¼ in children of standard PA while slightly decreased in children of elevated PA. Many more children of elevated PA changed body mass category from overweight to healthy weight than those of standard PA. Girls, especially of standard PA, had more often excessive body weight compared to boys. (4) Conclusions: Increasing time of physical activity at school by elevation of the number of PE lessons favorably affects the body mass of children.

“…?”), and the point in time when such information was collected. For instance, before the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., March 2020 [ 6 ]), the percentage of those who used a DS during the last 12 months prior to their questioning was ~10% in both Spain [ 7 ] and Poland [ 8 ], but ~65% in Lithuania [ 9 ]. However, after COVID-19 was established as a pandemic, those percentages increased to 21% [ 10 ], ≥48% (“at least once in lifetime usage”) [ 11 ], and ~80% [ 9 ] respectively, indicating that COVID-19 might have played an impactful role.…”

Prevalence, Determinants, and Consumer Stance towards Dietary Supplements According to Sex in a Large Greek Sample: A Cross-Sectional Study

A stratified random sampling technique was used in order to explore the prevalence of and the factors influencing dietary supplement (DS) use and the consumer stance towards DS by Greeks (n = 28,491, ≥15 years) according to sex. Additionally, we performed a Pearson’s chi-square to test within DS users for the dependence between sex and the examined factors, and binary logistic regression to create predictive DS user profiles. A history of DS use accounted for 55.5% and was more prevalent in women (58.4% vs. 52.3%, p < 0.001); multivitamins were the most popular DS used. The significant predictors for DS use for both sexes were age, education, employment status, exercise, and following a special diet, while BMI and monthly income were significant for women and men, respectively. The women and men DS users had mostly illness-health and fitness-related goals, respectively. Substantial proportions of the respondents had false beliefs about DS. A noticeable percentage of DS users displayed imprudent behavior regarding DS use, e.g., one out of five did not know the definition or did not take into consideration the recommended daily allowance. While several factors seemed to impact DS use, with certain differences between the sexes, the considerable lack of knowledgeable and responsible use of DS, with few differences between the sexes, observed can point state authorities and health professionals towards appropriate countermeasures.

“…Poles often eat sandwiches, especially for breakfast; a frequent addition to sandwiches are cold cuts and sausages. This can cause a higher consumption of processed meat [ 38 , 49 ]. In British studies from 2008 to 2019, the consumption of red and processed meat was similar; in 2018/2019 it was 34.7 and 36.1 g/person/day, respectively [ 44 ].…”

The aim of the study was to assess the quantity and frequency of meat consumption, especially of red and processed meat, in Poland. The amount of meat consumed was assessed using data from household budget surveys undertaken in 2000, 2010, and 2020. The frequency of consumption was assessed using Food Propensity Questionnaire data from 1831 adults in 2019–2020. Poles consumed 1.35 kg of unprocessed red meat and 1.96 kg of total processed meat per person per month in 2020. The consumption of red meat was lower than in the two previous decades; the consumption of processed meat fluctuated. Pork was the most commonly consumed red meat: 40% of adults consumed pork 2–3 times a week. Beef and other unprocessed red meat were most often consumed less than once a month (29.1%). Processed meat was often consumed: 37.8% of adults ate cold cuts, and 34.9% ate sausages and bacon 2–3 times a week. The consumption of red and processed meat in Poland was high and frequent. In particular, the consumption of processed meat exceeded the recommendations and might increase the risk of chronic diseases. It is necessary to implement activities aimed at reducing the consumption of red and processed meat in Poland.
