Irish children fare well in health study
A new global study on the health of young people shows Irish children are doing well, compared to their counterparts in other countries. 26-06-2008
The report examines the health and well being of over 200,000 children aged 11, 13 and 15.
The World Health Organisation study was carried out in 41 countries.
The Irish element was conducted by the Health Promotion Research Centre, at the National University of Ireland Galway.
It is the third time that Irish data has been included in such research.
Compared with previous surveys, there has been a reduction in the consumption of confectionery and soft drinks and an increase in tooth brushing habits.
Levels of physical activity have been maintained.
Irish 11-year-olds are near the top of the class when it comes to engaging in regular physical activity.
They are also in the top ten and well above the average for rates of breakfast eating and school performance. Read the full story at: - http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/0617/health.html
