“…Despite the importance of the food industry in the Polish economy, a markable percentage of adults in Poland present a moderate or low level of knowledge about food, nutrition, and their relation to health [ 12 , 26 ]. Moreover, the prevalence of overweight or obesity in Poland is one of the highest in the EU [ 27 , 28 ]. Rapid socioeconomic changes observed in recent decades have affected the lifestyle of Poles, including dietary behaviors [ 28 , 29 ].…”

An unhealthy diet is an important risk factor for disability and premature death. This study aimed to assess nutrition knowledge, dietary habits, and food label use among adults in Poland as well as to identify factors associated with diet-related behaviors. A cross-sectional survey was carried out in July 2020 on a non-probability quota-based sample of 1070 adult citizens of Poland. The most common sources of nutrition knowledge were news websites (41.8%) or family/friends (32.4%). Over one-quarter of adults in Poland were on a diet (28.7%). Over one-tenth of respondents (11.9%) consumed less than three meals per day. Half of the respondents (50.3%) declared that they use food labels when shopping, and 15.4% checked the nutrition information on restaurant menus. Female gender (OR:1.70; 95%CI:1.26–2.29; p < 0.001), presence of chronic diseases (OR:1.83; 95%CI:1.37–2.44; p < 0.001), regular physical activity (p < 0.001), and being a non-smoker (OR:1.45; 95%CI:1.02–2.06; p = 0.04) were significantly associated with higher odds of being on a diet. Females (OR:1.63; 95%CI:1.24–2.15; p < 0.001), respondents with higher education (OR:1.53; 95%CI:1.17–2.01; p = 0.002), those who had never been married (OR:1.49; 95%CI:1.07–2.07; p = 0.02), respondents with chronic diseases (OR:1.73; 95%CI:1.30–2.31; p < 0.001), those with regular physical activity (p < 0.05), as well as non-smokers (OR:1.42; 95%CI:1.04–1.95; p = 0.03) had higher odds of checking the food labels. This study showed a significant gap in nutrition knowledge among adults in Poland.

“…In most populations, the prevalence of obesity in adults is greater for women than for men [ 43 ]. However, national data showed that in Poland, the prevalence of overweight or obesity is higher among men (68.9% vs. 48.2%) [ 44 ]. In this study, the hospitalization rate due to type 2 diabetes was higher among men, which may result from the sex differences in the prevalence of overweight/obesity in Poland [ 44 ].…”

Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. The study aimed to present an epidemiological analysis of hospitalization related to diabetes mellitus in Poland between 2014 and 2020 as well as to analyze changes in diabetes-related hospital admissions before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is a retrospective analysis of the national registry dataset of hospital discharge reports on diabetes-related hospitalizations in Poland between 2014 and 2020. The number of diabetes-related hospitalizations varied from 76,220 in 2016 to 45,159 in 2020. The hospitalization rate per 100,000 has decreased from 74.6 in 2019 to 53.0 in 2020 among patients with type 1 diabetes (percentage change: −28.9%). An even greater drop was observed among patients with type 2 diabetes: from 99.4 in 2019 to 61.6 in 2020 (percentage change: −38%). Both among patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, a decrease in hospitalization rate was higher among females than males (−31.6% vs. −26.7% and −40.9% vs. −35.2% respectively). When compared to 2019, in 2020, the in-hospital mortality rate increased by 66.7% (60.0% among males and 65.2% among females) among patients hospitalized with type 1 diabetes and by 48.5% (55.2% among females and 42.1% among males) among patients hospitalized with type 2 diabetes. Markable differences in hospitalization rate, duration of hospitalization, as well as in-hospital mortality rate by gender, were observed, which reveal health inequalities.

Introduction: Obesity is considered to be one of the most prevalent health problems which lead to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases thus increasing mortality rate and decreasing life expectancy, particularly in western countries. The variants within the FTO gene were identified to be associated with adiposity and diabetes in genome-wide association studies (GWAS).Aim of the study: To investigate the association between FTO rs17817449 polymorphism and risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, lipid disorders, and cardiovascular diseases: arterial hypertension and coronary artery disease (CAD).Material and methods: Study group consisted of 295 patients (159 women and 136 men). Collected venous blood samples were stored at minus 70 C until the study group was completed. In the laboratory of the
