Abstract

Attitudes supporting our health are evolving and changing throughout the life; and it is interesting to see components of a healthy lifestyle that people of age 70+ take  most positively and which are accessed rather neutrally (in comparison with other age groups).
Realized investigation is focused on the evaluation of attitudes of respondents of various ages towards compliance of the principles of healthy lifestyle. The aim of the research project was to identify the healthy lifestyle components that people respect the most often and which the least. Likert scale was used to obtain the data.
Based on using the Pearson contingent coefficient and comparison of the relative frequencies is possible to state that respondents assess themselves in compliance with the principles of a healthy lifestyle regimen better than the others.
In opinion of respondents the people have the most positive relationship to the activities with family and friends and activities in nature. According to respondents, the majority of people in the population do not perform too many physical activities. The data is necessary to consider in the nationally proclaimed programs focused on health promotion and activation.
