The physical and mental health of Hungarians has been studied by Professor Mária Kopp since 1988 as part of the Hungarostudy research. In 2021, the Mária Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS), in cooperation with the Institute of Behavioural Sciences of Semmelweis University, conducted the survey for the sixth time, with a representative sample of personal data.
The analysis provides data on the answers to questions on physical and mental well-being, which have been included in the last three consecutive surveys. Responses are also presented by sex and, where there is a significant difference, by age (18-29 years and 30 years and over). The questions were the same across the different data collections (where they were not is indicated), but the respondents were always different, so although the trends in the main variables and thus in physical and mental health among the Hungarian population can be reviewed, the study cannot be considered as a follow-up.
The number of respondents was 4841 individuals in 2006, 2000 individuals in 2013 and 7000 in 2021.
Eight out of ten Hungarians agree that breast milk is the best food for the baby, according to the research of the Maria Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS), which was prepared on the International Day of Breastfeeding. Hungary is also at the forefront on the international stage in relation to the prevalence of breastfeeding, in which MCH nurses play a significant role.
Mothers who have given birth without interventions have a more positive appreciation of the childbirth experience, which may facilitate them having further children, according to a recent study by the Maria Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS). The way mothers experience childbirth is important for both the birth of the children being wished for and the growth of families.
On 23-24 November 2023, the European Commission officially launched the work of the Harnessing Talent Platform (HTP) Working Groups.
