There is a subjective perception of cognitive load associated with the educational process. The aim of the study is to assess individual environmental, behavioral and psychosocial factors influencing physical health and to investigate the amount of mental load in children. We investigated 87 schoolchildren (47 girls and 40 boys) aged 10\u201312 years, who were attending primary school in Bratislava. To assess values of selected factors we used a questionnaire form and personality characteristics were estimated by standardized psycho-diagnostic and IQ tests [range of classic fear, social-situation anxiety and jitters [skala Klasickeho strachu a Socialno-situacnej (in Slovak)] (KSAT), Eyesenck Personality Questionnaire for children (EPQ), Raven\u2019s IQ test]. Self-reported perception of mental load was assessed by questionnaire of subjective feelings and states (SFS). Children\u2019s body parameters were assessed using anthropometric measurements [height, weight, chest, abdominal and hip girth, Rohrer\u2019s index (RI), body mass index (BMI)] and a body fat measurement method (skinfold thickness). The results confirmed a significant relationship between higher parameters of overweight and obesity and irregular breakfast eating (p&lt;0.05), absence of family dining (p&lt;0.05), exposure to tobacco smoke in the family environment (p&lt;0.01) and mother\u2019s level of education (p&lt;0.05). Almost 60% of children reported high mental effort and cognitive load associated with the educational process. We note a close relationship between the higher mental load and the score of neuroticism (p&lt;0.01). The physical and mental health of schoolchildren is significantly affected by exogenous factors. Therefore, in terms of protection and promotion of children\u2019s health, it is important to evaluate and monitor environmental risk factors and to form their healthy habits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/reveh-2016-0034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,22]],"date-time":"2016-11-22T10:06:15Z","timestamp":1479809175000},"page":"189-192","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The impact of selected environmental, behavioral and psychosocial factors on schoolchildren\u2019s somatic and mental health"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Diana","family":"Vondrova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hygiene, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, Bratislava, Spitalska 24, 813 72 Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Kapsdorfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pharmacological Neuroendocrinology, Institute of Experimental Endocrinology, Biomedical Research Center, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lubica","family":"Argalasova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hygiene, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katarina","family":"Hirosova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hygiene, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Samohyl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hygiene, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ludmila","family":"Sevcikova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hygiene, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024080906585922573_j_reveh-2016-0034_ref_001_w2aab3b7c31b1b6b1ab2b1b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cunningham SA, Kramer MR, Narayan KMV.
