| Summary: | The aim of the study is which factors influence the choice of food supplements in students. Methods:
survey; statistical processing of results; grafical analysis; comparative analysis. The respondents are 83
students - 43 women and 36 men. Results: тhe majority of students (76%) do not use food supplements and
only 24% is the relative share of positive answers. The largest (40%) is the relative share of respondents
who rely on their own knowledge when choosing supplements. Fitness instructors (20%) and nutritionists
(18%) have almost equivalent weight as an authority. The doctor's recommendation does not have a strong
influence on the choice of supplements - 13% is the relative share of this answer Conclusion: A small
number of students use nutritional supplements, and those who use them rely mainly on their own
knowledge and to some extent on fitness instructors and nutritionists. Measures should also be proposed to
increase health literacy of the medical specialists themselves - doctors, physiotherapists, rehabilitators,
nurses, midwives and others, and in this way the human and financial resources in the health system would
be significantly affected. |
