Regispt: Registry of Registries In Portugal

Abstract

A563have regarding to the mineral waters/drinking water. Methods: The target group of our study was the 18 year old citizens of Pécs (N= 60) and Bátya (N= 60), in 2013. The quantitative study with self-edited questionnaires contained the following topics: socio-demographic data, water-consumption habits, knowledge about local mineral-and drinking water, experiences, mineral water purchasing and consuming habits, knowledge about the beneficial effects of mineral water on health. As a statistical method, we conducted an χ 2 test with a 95% percent of probability (p< 0,05), with the help of SPSS 20.0 software. Results: The Bátya population prefer "traditional" liquids to citizens of Pécs. Since inhabitants of Bátya consume significantly more likely soda everyday than citizens of Pécs (p= 0,025) but the same cannot be said for the consumption of syrups (p= 0,682). Also has been confirmed, that during the purchase of mineral water the observed population does not consider its mineral content, it is the taste and price that influence them, only after these they check the mineral content. Men have significantly more knowledge about the effects of mineral water on health (p= 0,047). Who have elementary qualifications were significantly more to give false answers which component should be taken into consideration in case of high blood pressure, whereas those who have a high school or higher education qualification were significantly more to know the right answer, the sodium. ConClusions: I had observed lack knowledge about the effects of mineral water on health, as well as about the quality of local drinking water. Drinking water suppliers and Policy Administration Services of Public Health should emphasize that in Hungary, in most cases, the quality of drinking water is appropriate.
