Abstract

V originále

A survey of eating habits was carried out among the students, professional soldiers and civilian employees of the Military University of Ground Forces in Vyškov (Czech Republic). To find out whether employees of the Czech Army have proper eating habits and whether they follow the principles of correct nutrition when choosing food. The data regarding eating habits were obtained by a questionnaire compiled by the Department of Economics and Nutritional Hygiene of the Military University of Ground Forces. The survey included students of the Military University, Economics of Defence of the Republic (33 respondents). Basic anthropometric parameters were surveyed in the respondents: body height and mass, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated from these values. The objective of the measurements was to determine the respondents´ nutritional status. Furthermore, the subjects completed an anonymous questionnaire regarding eating habits. It was concluded from the measurements that the majority of respondents had normal body weight and their eating habits, evaluated by the number of servings throughout the day, were good. Deficiencies were found in the number of fruit and vegetable portions consumed during the day.
