“…There was a drop in consumption of lean meat and fresh fruits and vegetables, which were largely replaced by starchy foods (Bakken et al, 1999). The economic collapse also resulted in other lifestyle changes, such as an increase in alcohol and tobacco consumption, especially among young people (Okulicz-Kozaryn and Borucka, 2008). This is probably why no increase in BMI was observed between 1986 and 1995.…”

The trend of body size and stature increase within the Polish population, although decelerating, remained positive and steady during the last 45 years. No significant impact of the past half-century's socioeconomic crises was observed in these measures of growth. We concluded that during the economic crises some effective mechanism protecting the living conditions of the children and youth were operating within the population.

“…The problem with increasing alcohol consumption among teenagers has also been observed. In Warsaw adolescents' population, the alcohol intake was sig nificantly higher in 2004 compared to 1988, and the increasing tendency was noted among both boys and girls [14]. Analogously to smoking, alcohol intake by adolescents may determine early development of alcohol dependence [15].…”

Introduction. Arterial hypertension (HT) affects 10.4 million adult Poles, and the blood pressure (BP) control rate is only 26%. Beyond any doubt, high blood pressure results in cardiovascular (CV) target organ damage, which markedly influences national healthcare programs. Childhood introduced cardiovascular prophylaxis offers oppor tunities to decrease incident HT and delay or even eliminate its consequences. Therefore we have decided to study the level of knowledge on HT and CV disease (CVD) among random 1st and 2nd grade high school students in Tricity, Poland. Material and methods. Questionnairebased study was conducted voluntarily in two selected high schools of the Tricity agglomeration, Poland, in 2000 and repeated in 2016. All participants were presented with a 38item ques tionnaire on cardiovascular risk factors knowledge as well as students' health habits. Results. Studied group consisted of 615 students (57.6% females) at the age of 16, mean BMI 20.89 ± 2.95 kg/m

“…Changes in alcohol consumption after the fall of communism in Poland in 1989 are mainly due to the introduction of a free market economy, which meant increased availability of alcohol, aggressive marketing, and better quality of alcoholic beverages, especially beer. Changing social attitudes also played a role, as the influence of the Catholic Church weakened and social norms regarding adequate and nonadequate behaviors were liberalized (Okulicz-Kozaryn & Borucka, 2008).…”

“…Statistically, this pattern of alcohol use is associated with not getting drunk and not using alcohol in public places (Bellis et al, 2007;Forsyth & Barnard, 2000). Our previous research indicated that alcohol use with parents was most common among teenage moderate drinkers (Okulicz-Kozaryn & Borucka, 2008).…”

“…In 1993, legislation limiting the number of alcohol outlets (selling beverages with more than 4.5% alcohol) was annulled, and the number of these outlets rose from 30,160 ("Profilaktyka i rozwiązywanie problemów alkoholowych," 2006) to approximately 100,000 in 2008 ("Profilaktyka i rozwiązywanie problemów alkoholowych ", 2008). These developments changed the context of drinking behaviors, including adolescent alcohol use (Okulicz-Kozaryn & Borucka, 2008).…”

Aim: The study investigates patterns of alcohol drinking among 15-year-old Polish students in Warsaw over the past 20 years.Methods: Data were collected from six consecutive surveys, beginning in 1988 (N = 3918) and conducted every four years (in 2008, N = 1229).Results: Two-step cluster analysis across all six consecutive surveys indicated a clear differentiation of the social context of adolescent alcohol drinking patterns. Adolescents are least likely to drink alcohol alone (< 5%) or heavily with peers (< 10%), more likely to drink with parents (15%-20%), in moderate amounts with peers (11%-28%) or not at all (11%-27%), and most likely to be light social drinkers (30%-46%). Cross-gender comparisons suggest that traditional gender differences are fading away; the data show increases in moderate social drinking among females and abstinence among males. Conclusions:Our results confirm that adolescents' patterns of alcohol use are stable over time, despite the social and political changes that have occurred in Poland since 1988, and reflect a pattern of mostly moderate drinking.
