Zdrowie stanowi najcenniejszą wartość osobistą i społeczną. W obszarze badań nad zachowaniami zdrowotnymi coraz większe znaczenie nadaje się czynnikom ekonomiczno-społecznym, związanym z zamożnością, pozycją społeczną i kapitałem społecznym. Przypuszcza się, że nierówności społeczne mogą w istotny sposób bezpośrednio lub pośrednio oddziaływać na zdrowie młodzieży i na jej przyszłość. Celem niniejszych badań jest zidentyfikowanie zależności między zachowaniami sprzyjającymi zdrowiu i ryzykownymi dla zdrowia deklarowanymi przez piętnastoletnią wrocławską młodzież a warunkami życia i środowiskiem lokalnym. Materiał niniejszego artykułu stanowią dane uzyskane w wyniku badań 34 szkół we Wrocławiu. W ocenie zachowań zdrowotnych posłużono się: Międzynarodowym Kwestionariuszem Zachowań Zdrowotnych Młodzieży Szkolnej HBSC (Health Behaviour in School-aged Children) o potwierdzonej trafności i rzetelności. Zróżnicowanie wybranych zachowań zdrowotnych odniesiono do zasobów materialnych rodziny FAS (Family Affluence Scale), nasilenia problemów w środowisku lokalnym, a także percepcji kapitału społecznego w badanym środowisku. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że wrocławska młodzież o wyższym poziomie zamożności rodziny mniej czasu wolnego poświęca na oglądanie telewizji, granie w gry komputerowe czy korzystanie z Internetu. Wzrost zamożności rodziny mierzony skalą FAS nie zawsze był skorelowany z zachowaniami sprzyjającymi zdrowiu. Młodzież o najniższym poziomie zamożności rodziny najczęściej deklarowała niespożywanie alkoholu. Wysoki poziom postrzegania kapitału społecznego w środowisku lokalnym okazał się istotnie skorelowany z zalecaną codzienną aktywnością fizyczną. Ponadto, im wyższy deklarowano poziom postrzegania kapitału społecznego, tym częściej piętnastolatkowie palili tytoń. Nasilenie problemów w środowisku lokalnym nie było istotnie skorelowane z zachowaniami zdrowotnymi.

Using Data

Active school transport (AST) is a source of daily physical activity uptake. However, AST seems to have decreased worldwide over recent decades. We aimed to examine recent trends in AST and associations with gender, age, family affluence, and time to school, using data from the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) study collected in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 in the Czech Republic, Norway, Scotland, and Wales. Data from 88,212 students (11, 13 and 15 years old) revealed stable patterns of AST from 2006 to 2018, apart from a decrease in the Czech Republic between 2006 and 2010. For survey waves combined, walking to and from school was most common in the Czech Republic (55%) and least common in Wales (30%). Cycling was only common in Norway (22%). AST differed by gender (Scotland and Wales), by age (Norway), and by family affluence (everywhere but Norway). In the Czech Republic, family affluence was associated with change over time in AST, and the effect of travel time on AST was stronger. The findings indicate that the decrease in AST could be levelling off in the countries considered here. Differential associations with sociodemographic factors and travel time should be considered in the development of strategies for AST.

Background: Regular physical activity and doing well in school are important for growing adolescents. In this study, the associations between physical activity and perceived school performance (PSP) are examined together. Methods: Young adolescents from 42 countries (n = 193,949) in Europe and Canada were examined for associations between self-reported moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and PSP. Multinominal analyses were conducted with 0 to 2 days of MVPA and below average PSP as reference categories. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were reported for pooled data and individual countries after controlling for family affluence scale. Results: Girls had better PSP than boys, yet more boys participated in daily MVPA than girls. The associations between PSP and MVPA were inverted U shaped. The strongest association for very good PSP was among young adolescents who reported 5 to 6 days MVPA (odds ratios = 2.3; 95% confidence interval, 2.1–2.4) after controlling for family affluence scale. Conclusions: Young adolescents with average or better PSP took part in at least 3 days of MVPA in a week, suggesting that participating in some MVPA was positively associated with PSP. More days of MVPA in a week, especially for young adolescents with below average PSP, would be beneficial for health and school performance.

Abstract Aim To examine the external validity of the Family Affluence Scale (FAS) among adolescents in Sweden by using register data for parental earned income, level of education and occupational status. Methods Data from the baseline (2015–2019) of the Study of Adolescence Resilience and Stress (STARS), comprising 2283 13-year-olds in the region of Västra Götaland, were used. The FAS III consists of six items: unshared bedroom, car ownership, computer/tablet ownership, dishwasher, number of bathrooms and number of holidays abroad. Register data regarding earned income, educational level and occupational status from Statistics Sweden (2014–2018) were linked to adolescents. In total, survey data were available for 2280 adolescents, and register data were available for 2258 mothers and 2204 fathers. Results Total parental earned income was moderately correlated with adolescents’ scoring on FAS (0.31 < r < 0.48, p < 0.001), depending on examination year. The low FAS group mainly comprised low-income households, and the high FAS group mainly comprised high-income households. Correlations between mothers’ and fathers’ educational level and adolescents’ scoring on FAS were low (r = 0.19 and r = 0.21, respectively, p < 0.001). FAS was higher among adolescents whose parents were working, but the correlation between parents’ occupational status and FAS was low (r = 0.22, p < 0.001). Conclusions The FAS can mainly identify low- and high-income households in Sweden. It may be used as an alternative measure of parental earned income in studies using self-reported socioeconomic status among adolescents.
