The main objective of the study is to identify the differences in risk behaviour in terms of physical activities and food-related practices in relation to parenting styles as perceived by (pre-) adolescents. The Eating Habits and Activities subscale of the Questionnaire of Risk Behaviour (QRB), consisting of seven items, was used to examine specific forms of risk behaviour, while a standardized questionnaire for detecting parenting styles in the family (DZSVR) was used to examine parenting styles: democratic, authoritarian, liberal, and indifferent. The research sample consists of (pre-) adolescents in elementary schools in all regions of the Slovak Republic, specifically 606 (pre-) adolescents aged between 10 and 15 years old. The results show that the lowest mean scores for all forms of risk behaviours are shown by (pre-) adolescents who have been raised with democratic and authoritarian parenting styles; (pre-)adolescents who have been raised with liberal and indifferent parenting styles show higher mean scores on the assessed variables. However, statistically significant differences were found only in soft drink consumption (H = 8.615, p < .05), the frequency of eating breakfast (H = 11.944, p < .001), and the time spent watching TV (H = 7.658, p < .05).
