Survey: Hong Kong Men Lax on Hand Washing 1 hour, 45 minutes ago
HONG KONG - Nearly a third of Hong Kong men don't wash their hands after using the washroom, according to a survey released Tuesday by the Hong Kong Toilet Association.
The observations of 361 washroom users also found only 4 percent of women failed to cleanse their hands afterward.
"After looking at the results, women may laugh at their male counterparts, and hopefully that will help remind them to keep up their personal hygiene," Dr. Lo Wing-lok said.
The study said people who use toilets with automatic faucets and paper towels are more likely to clean their hands.
