Summary:The impact of risk factors occurring in families on the adolescents’ attitude towards food, using the EAT-26 questionnaire and the Short (s)-EMBU was examined. Respondents were 464 high school students. Results show that in nearly 79% respondents there is at least one risk factor present in the family. Connection between a disturbed attitude to food and being on a family diet and failure to solve problems and absence of communication in families and the occurrence of psychic diseases in families was confirmed. The attachment was more disturbed on the father's side than on the mother's.
