Eating habits are mainly shaped at the first stages of human life. Incorrect eating habits in young individuals may in the future lead to eating disorders and predispose to abnormal body weight.
The aim of the study was to investigate eating habits among adolescents and verify whether there are any differences in eating habits between girls and boys.
The study was conducted among 337 post-primary school students, including 126 girls and 211 boys. A standardised questionnaire "My eating habits" was used as a research tool.
Secret snacking was slightly more common among girls (27.78%) than boys (24.17%). It was also girls who mostly admitted that other people comment on their diet, as indicated by 33.33% of girls and 18.96% of boys. Girls are also more likely to be dissatisfied with their body weight (41.27% vs. 27.49%) and to occasionally avoid eating despite feeling hungry (42.06% vs. 27.01%) compared to boys.
The eating habits of young people are mostly varied. There are differences in the d ietary habits of girls and boys; girls are more likely than boys to overeat under the influence of emotions and to apply dietary restrictions to themselves. In order to promote healthy eating habits and support the mental well-being of young people, it is recommended to provide nutritional education and to implement psychological support for those in need.
饮食习惯主要在人类生命的早期阶段形成。年轻人的不良饮食习惯将来可能导致饮食失调，并导致体重异常。
本研究旨在调查青少年的饮食习惯，并验证女孩和男孩的饮食习惯是否存在差异。
该研究在 337 名中学后学生中进行，包括 126 名女孩和 211 名男孩。使用标准化问卷“我的饮食习惯”作为研究工具。
秘密吃零食在女孩中（27.78%）比男孩中（24.17%）略为常见。也有更多的女孩承认别人会评论她们的饮食，占 33.33%，而男孩为 18.96%。与男孩相比，女孩也更有可能对自己的体重不满意（41.27%比 27.49%），并且尽管感到饥饿，偶尔也会避免进食（42.06%比 27.01%）。
年轻人的饮食习惯大多不同。女孩和男孩的饮食习惯存在差异；女孩比男孩更容易在情绪影响下暴饮暴食，并对自己进行饮食限制。为了促进健康的饮食习惯和支持年轻人的心理健康，建议提供营养教育，并为有需要的人提供心理支持。
