The study, entitled “Socioeconomic gradient shifts in health-related behaviour among Slovak adolescents between 1998 and 2006″<\/a> collected data on smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity from Slovak adolescents in 1998 and 2006 using similar methodologies.<\/p>\n

The authors report that the socioeconomic differences in smoking decreased among boys but increased among girls, with girls coming from low socioeconomic background smoking more.<\/p>\n

The socioeconomic differences in alcohol consumption disappeared among girls, while their absence persisted among boys.<\/p>\n

Looking at physical activity, the socioeconomic differences increased among boys while the small differences that had been originally observed among girls disappeared.<\/p>\n
