Boys consumed alcohol beverages more frequently than girls (p < 0.001). The percentage of boys consuming alcohol only several times per year or abstaining from alcohol amounted to 38 %, that of girls - to 48 %. Boys smoked more frequently than girls (p < 0.05) however girls used medicaments more frequently than boys (p< 0.001)
