How Stress Is Related to Age, Education, Physical Activity, Body Mass Index, and Body Fat Percentage in Adult Polish Men
Stressful events and chronic tension are considered a burden and a threat to physical, mental, and social health. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the associations of variation in stress exposure with social factors, physical activity, basic components of physical fitness, body mass index (BMI) and percentage of body fat (BFP). An additional objective was to identify the main BFP modifiers among those analyzed. The material consisted of da…
Age, Education, and Stress Affect Ageing Males’ Symptoms More than Lifestyle Does
An increasing number of subjects are affected by health problems related to the advanced involutional processes. It is extremely important to identify the determinants of the rate of occurrence of physiological, psychological, and social manifestations of aging. The aim was to determine how factors such as lifestyle, level of education, or severity of stressful life events indicate the appearance of aging symptoms in adult men. The material consi…
Social class-specific secular trends in height among 19-year old Polish men
Secular trends in body height and body mass in 19‐year‐old polish men based on six national surveys from 1965 to 2010
OBJECTIVES: The aim was to determine whether an intergenerational trend toward increased stature is slowing down, and whether body weight has recently increased among young men in Poland, as it has in Western European countries. METHODS: Data were taken from six national surveys of 19-year-old Polish male conscripts from cohorts 1965, 1976, 1986, 1995, 2001, and 2010. RESULTS: The mean stature of this population increased throughout the last 45 y…
Self-reported versus measured body height and weight in Polish adult men
BACKGROUND: In some epidemiological studies, self-reported height and weight are often used to save time and money. Self-reported height and weight are commonly used to assess the prevalence of obesity. The aim of this study was to assess the differences between self-reported and measured height and weight in adult men, and to determine how the accuracy of self-reported data depended on age and education. The prevalence of obesity was also calcul…
Decrease in Sex Difference in Premature Mortality During System Transformation in Poland
In recent years, sex differences in mortality have followed diverse patterns of change in developed countries. As there is no analogous evidence from Poland, the aim of this study was to describe the pattern of change in excess male mortality among Polish inhabitants aged 35–64 during 1995–2002, when the major socioeconomic transformation occurred, and compare it with sex differences in mortality observed in the late 1980s. During the study perio…
Social inequality in premature mortality among polish urban adults during economic transition
Rates of premature mortality among adults are important measures of the economic and psychosocial well‐being of human populations. In many countries, such rates are, as a rule, inversely related to the level of attained education. We examined changes in educational group‐specific mortality rates among urban adults in Poland during the country's rapid transition in the 1990s from a socialist command economy to a free market system. Two census‐base…
Recent trends in stature of 14-year-old boys from Wrocław, Poland
The aim of this study was to investigate the educational groupspecific secular trends in stature of 14-year-old boys from Wrocław. The study was based on two cohorts of boys measured in 1987 and 1997. On the basis of mother and father education level divided into three categories, social sub-groups were selected. During the period 1987-97 the mean stature of 14-year-old boys has risen from 163.6 cm in 1987 to 165.6 cm in 1997. Growth trends were …
Young adult height of offspring born to rural‐to‐urban migrant parents and urban‐born parents
Young adult height of offspring born to rural-to-urban migrant parents and urban-born parents
This study addresses the influence of the urban or rural origin of parents on the attained height of 19-year-old young adult males resident in urban centers. The material for the study was a 10% random sample of 19-year-old Polish conscripts born in 1976 and examined in 1995. The conscripts represented all regions of the country and all social strata. Among the total sample, only those who were born and raised in and who currently lived in cities…
