Less than 3 hours a day walk 100% of the group B examinees and 54% of the group A (p<0.001). More often watch TV 50% W and 33.33% M in group A, and in the group B 66.67% W and 50% M. Longer than 3h watch TV 38.89% W and 50% M in group B, that is higher than 8.33% W and 33.34% M in gr Ap<0.01 In group B 38.89% W and 42.86% M eat too much and 9.09% W from group A (p<0.001). Rare and much food take 35.29%W and 66.67%M in group B. Often and much food take 29.41% W and 16.67% M. All examinees from group B take food for less than 5 hours and 8.33% W and 40% M in group A.
