<p style="text-align: justify;">Lifestyle&nbsp;and health culture significantly determines people&rsquo;s health status. Several&nbsp;demographic studies have proved the correlation between disadvantaged social&nbsp;situation, unfavorable socio-economic status and health status. Deprivation and&nbsp;disadvantaged situation have become important, which should be treated as the&nbsp;root of difficulties on several fields since they have great impact on health&nbsp;behavior and -culture. Families living in lagging areas require special&nbsp;attention because of their social and economic backwardness and mental&nbsp;disadvantages. Childhood is an especially important period since skills learned&nbsp;before the age of 14 have a determining role in future life chances and adult&nbsp;health status: satisfactory psychosomatic development, loading capacity and the&nbsp;developing unfavorable habits influence adult health. As the part of the&nbsp;Creative Region program, our goal is to explore the mental health status of&nbsp;people living in the Hungarian Aba&uacute;j region by monitored data. 516 persons from&nbsp;25 settlements and 7 primary schools of the region were included. We used the&nbsp;Beck Depression Inventory (filled under the age of 12) and the Spielberg State-Trait&nbsp;Anxiety Inventory (filled by all participants) by the help of measuring&nbsp;commissioners. Among children, a significant difference could be detected&nbsp;between genders (p=0.007). Body image seems to be a really important factor in&nbsp;youngsters&rsquo; life. Body weight (p=0.022) and physical exercises (p=0.02)&nbsp;significantly occur in the manifestation of depression symptoms in young&nbsp;people. The level of adult&rsquo;s depression is influenced by the education level&nbsp;(p=0.00012), labour market status (p=0.003), alcohol consumption (p=0.007),&nbsp;subjective bad financial situation (p=0.022), sedentary lifestyle (p=0.001) and&nbsp;obesity (p=0.002). 5.5% of youngsters and 1.3% of adults are victims of&nbsp;domestic violence. It is important to highlight that negative future vision,&nbsp;unemployment and hopelessness cause anxiety and depression increasing by age,&nbsp;and it will manifest in endangering health behavior (inappropriate eating,&nbsp;sedimentary lifestyle, addictive disorders).</p>
