[Evaluation of lifestyle and nutrition among the Hungarian elderly].
Evaluation on lifestyle and nutrition among Hungarian elderly. A cross-sectional study on nutritional habits and life style on 250 elderly Hungarian people were performed in primary care setting. The education level, marital status, housing situation, the time for social and outdoor activities, the smoking and drinking habits, the general health condition were evaluated. Some anthropometric parameters, the nutritional habits, daily meal patterns and food preference were also briefly analyzed. The overweight, lack of physical activity and unfavorable nutritional habits were the main observations on this population. These trends should be turned by stronger medical intervention based on primary care.
