[Health status and physical development of the child versus feeding method].
One of the very important factors influencing health status and growth and development of children and youth is proper nutrition. In this paper it has been stressed that 20-25% of the Polish population demonstrates health disorders connected with bad nutritional habits and not sufficiently safe food. Therefore one of the priorities in health policy in Poland is the problem of proper nutrition of children and youth. It can influence not only the proper growth and development of the population in developmental period of life, but it can play an evident role in prevention of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and hypertension in adults.
