Description
Providing conditions for physical activity and providing quality food (Mediterranean food) for children until late adolescence contributes to reducing health inequalities among the population of this age. The aim of the paper was to prove the difference between males and females aged 17 years in the Mediterranean diet and body mass index. The research was conducted on a sample of 100 respondents aged 17 years (N = 44 females; N = 66 males). The students involved in the research were regulars at the "11 Marsi" C.K. in Prizren. Three anthropometric variables were applied: body height, body weight, body mass index and a diet variable, the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED) which contains 16 questions. Data on all variables were collected via email for each individual. From the statistical processing, the basic statistical parameters and the t-test difference analysis for independent groups were calculated. The t-test analysis shows that in the Mediterranean diet, respectively the Index (KIDMED) and BMI between male and female students, no significant statistical difference has been obtained KIDMED - Mean diff.=-0.38; p>0.05 and ABOVE - Mean diff.=1.24; p>0.05. In body height Mean diff.=12.55; p<0.05 and body weight Mean diff.=13.24; p<0.05 is obtained significant statistical difference.
