Certain dietary items contain significant amounts of flavonoids which was shown to improve cognitive function. An earlier investigation demonstrated a strong linear correlation between chocolate consumption and the number of Nobel laureates in a given country. However, Hungary and the Hungarian Nobel laureates were not included in this analysis.
In this publication, we aim to complement these data by analyzing data available for Hungary.
The number of Nobel laureates per country and the international data on chocolate consumption were based on the previously published results. The amount of chocolate consumption in Hungary was based on data from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. GDP per capita and Research and Development Expenditure data for the investigated countries were derived from the World Bank.
There are 11 Nobel laureates from Hungary. Based on this, Hungary ranks the 9th amongst the 24 studied countries. However, it only ranks the 19th when it comes to chocolate consumption. Correlations were found between the number of Nobel laureates and GDP per capita (r = 0.734; p = 0.001) as well as Research and Development Expenditure (r = 0.532; p = 0.01) amongst the studied countries.
The achievements of Hungarian scholars do not support the earlier notion that there is a link between the number of Nobel laureates (cognitive function) and the chocolate consumption in a given country. Their biographies highlight the importance and more possibilities of research funding in wealthier countries. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(1): 26-29.
某些饮食项目含有大量黄酮类化合物,已证明其可改善认知功能。早期一项调查显示,特定国家的巧克力消费量与该国诺贝尔奖获得者人数之间存在强烈的线性相关性。然而,匈牙利及匈牙利的诺贝尔奖获得者未纳入该分析。
在本出版物中,我们旨在通过分析匈牙利可得数据来补充这些数据。
每个国家的诺贝尔奖获得者人数以及巧克力消费的国际数据基于先前发表的结果。匈牙利的巧克力消费量基于匈牙利中央统计局的数据。被调查国家的人均国内生产总值和研发支出数据来自世界银行。
匈牙利有11位诺贝尔奖获得者。据此,匈牙利在24个被研究国家中排名第9。然而,在巧克力消费方面,它仅排名第19。在所研究的国家中,发现诺贝尔奖获得者人数与人均国内生产总值(r = 0.734;p = 0.001)以及研发支出(r = 0.532;p = 0.01)之间存在相关性。
匈牙利学者的成就并不支持先前的观点,即特定国家的诺贝尔奖获得者人数(认知功能)与巧克力消费量之间存在联系。他们的传记突出了富裕国家研究资金的重要性和更多可能性。《匈牙利医学周报》。2019年;160(1):26 - 29。
