[Attitude to health problems of men and women participating in prophylactic research].
An attitude to prophylaxis, health, physicians and harmful habits was studied in the random sample of 7836 males and females aged 25 to 69 in Kaunas within the integrated program of prophylaxis of chronic noncommunicable diseases. Women, as opposed to men, showed a tendency to a less optimistic assessment of general prophylactic measures and more often pointed to insufficient care of their health. Women take a more positive attitude to the necessity of changes in their diet and raising physical activity to protect health. It was concluded that while developing and conducting measures aimed at the prevention of chronic noncommunicable diseases one should take into consideration the peculiarities of the way of life in men and women and differences in their attitude to health problems.
