[Health behavior of Polish adult population].
Health behavior and factors affecting this behavior have been studied in Poland. Survey was based on representative sample of adult population. Differences, as expected, were related to age, sex and social status. Behavior with regard to personal hygiene was most appropriate among women and young persons, and correlated most strongly with level of education. It has been found that health promotion campaigns are most effective if organized locally and not nationally, since local campaigns could be tailored to specific local conditions.
