“…According to the Pol-PrAMS study, women not only do not comply with the expert recommendations regarding PA during pregnancy, but also frequently engage in risky behaviours. As many as 1 in 10 women admit to smoking in pregnancy and some to alcohol consumption [21,22,23].…”

Introduction. Adverse pregnancy outcomes are less common among physically active women, and children born to such mothers are less likely to be at risk for macrosomia, obesity and metabolic diseases in the future. Objectives. The aims of the study were to establish physical activity (PA) patterns among pregnant women in the third trimester, and to determine the attitudes of prenatal care providers to maternal PA during pregnancy. Materials and method. The study was conducted in 2017 using surveys from the Polish Pregnancy-related Assessment Monitoring System program (Pol-PrAMS). The study included 3,451 postpartum women. The Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to investigate their PA. This part of Pol-PrAMS study was completed by 2,744 postpartum women who were subjected to statistical analysis. Results. Sedentary or light physical activity comprised 75% of the overall PA in the third trimester of pregnancy (mean values of energy expenditure: 67 and 93.3 MET-h/week, respectively). Household or caregiving activities accounted for almost 50% of all activities and were the most common PA types (mean energy expenditure: 105 MET-h/week). Restriction of PA in pregnancy was reported by over 60% of the women, most often due to concerns over proper foetal development. Over 85% of prenatal care providers either did not address the issue of PA with the future mothers at all, or recommended PA restriction. Conclusions. Sedentary and light-intensity PA are the two predominant types of physical activity in the third trimester. The most energy-consuming tasks involve household and caregiving activities. Restriction of activity was reported by the majority of the respondents. Prenatal care providers either did not address the matter of PA in pregnancy or recommended PA restriction.

“…Generally, in Asian countries prevalence of smoking in women is very low, far lower than prevalence of smoking among men. Thus contrary to European countries, male-to-female smoking prevalence ratios in these countries, are very high, for example in China smoking prevalence among women is around 2% and among men 53%, and the ratio is 26.5 [17,18].…”

The aim of the study: To present comprehensive national estimates of prevalence of cigarette smoking by sociodemographic characteristics in Poland in 2019 and to analyse the changes in smoking prevalence in the Polish population after 2014. Material and methods: A cross-sectional survey on a representative sample of adult Polish population was conducted on 4-11 July 2019 by the Public Opinion Research Center (Centrum Badania Opinii Społecznej). A total of 1016 adults (42.4% men and 57.6% women) aged 20 years and older were included in the analysis. Data for smoking prevalence were analysed according to gender, age groups, birth cohorts, place of residence and education. Statistical analysis was done using Statistica 13.1 and assumed a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Of the total sample population, 21.8% of Polish adults declared they are daily smokers (in the general population this would translate to 6.8 million Poles, including 3.9 million men and 2.9 million women), 27.8% that they are ex-smokers and 50.4% that they never smoked tobacco. More men than women declared they are daily smokers (26.9% vs 18.1%) and ex-smokers (36.2% vs 21.5%), and women were more likely to declare they are never smokers than men (60.3% vs 36.9%). Conclusions: Poland has experienced a decrease in smoking prevalence since 1976 in men and since 1982 in women. In 2019 the most important factor shaping smoking prevalence in Poland was education. Sex differences in smoking rates have been converging since late 1970s. Those with lower levels of education, as well as middle-aged men and women (45-64 years old) were found to have the highest levels of daily smoking and should be offered targeted support promoting smoking cessation. There is an urgent need to bring back and strengthen a national tobacco control strategy in Poland. This should include systematic annual surveys of smoking behaviours on a representative sample of Polish population using a standardised methodology.
