Finnish scientists have found dependence between region of residing and propensity to a healthy lifestyle

Interesting supervision has been made by experts of National Institute of public health services of Finland: their researches have shown that there is a certain interrelation between a place of residing of the person and the propensity to a healthy lifestyle.
For example, scientists have come to conclusion that big cities inhabitants in a greater degree, than provincials, watch over their health and respond to last tendencies in this sphere. In particular, inhabitants of Helsinki prefer a dietary feed whereas, for example, in the north of the country the healthy diet is considerably less widespread. Local residents prefer to adhere to the diet developed by centuries including high-calorie and thermally processed food and other “regional delicacies”. Naturally, both the quantity suffering excess weight and adiposity in a province is much more usual, than in big cities. On the other hand, in the north people consume less alcohol, than inhabitants of capital watching a diet.
The Finnish doctors with pleasure mark, that obligatory three times a week walks on fresh air became a “banal” thing everywhere. People began to think more about their safety: people use seat belts more often and put on helmets, riding a bicycle. Doctors are worried with female smoking: the quantity of smoking men is steadily reducing and this bad habit is still widespread among women. Optimism is inspired by Helsinki citizens, who also gradually stop smoking: there is a hope, that smoking, becoming more and more provincial habit will gradually come to naught, including by virtue of feature of the female character which is not allowing inhabitants of peripheral areas to lag behind capital fashion.
