World Book of Family Medicine – European Edition 2015 Judit Simon, MD simon.judit@t-online.hu 83 – Do we Practice what we Preach? Judit Simon MD Semmelweis Medical University of Budapest, Hungary Doctors and especially general practitioners play an important role in health education and devote huge efforts to improve their patients’ nutritional habits. This study has been performed in order to assess doctors’ nutritional habits and to find out whether they follow good advice or not. I am convinced that patients take our advice more favourably if they observe that we practice what we preach. In 2000, one hundred general practitioners from Budapest (67 women and 33 men) were asked to fill out a questionnaire containing 16 questions with regard to their nutritional habits. As a consequence of their life style, the majority of their food consumption is at dinner, with very little food eaten throughout the day. Diagram 1: The distribution of the daily nutriment intake (self estimate on a scale from 1 to 5) Source: Author’s diagram based on the 2000 questionnaires According to the questionnaires, general practitioners in Budapest generally eat the minimal amount of food and liquid during daytime. Consistently, their daily fluid consumption is only 1.2 litres per day in, as can be seen in diagram 2. Diagram 2: Distribution of daily fluid consumption (dL) Source: Author’s diagram based on the 2000 questionnaires 255
