Abstract

This study was carried out to compare the dietary behaviors and nutrient intakes among the students(13 years of age) of middle schools between in industrial complex and in non-industrial complex. The subjects of each group were composed of 192 male and female teenagers living in Ansan city in Korea, and this study was performed by questionnaire and dietary survey. As a result, mothers' education level and monthly family income were lower in industrial complex-families(ICF) than those in non-industrial complex-families(NICF). The subjects in ICF took dinner more irregularly than did those in NICF. The subjects in ICF skipped the meals often as there was no person preparing meals'. The subjects in ICF tended to take ra-myun, cookie or bread more often as a lunch, and they considered size and price of snack more imporandy when they chose snack than those in NICF. And the subjects in ICF had lower degree of flood habits and satisfaction on their meals than those in NICF. The daily intakes of calorie, vitamin B$_2$, calcium and iron of subjects of two groups were lower than the Korean RDA, and these intakes were lower in ICF than in NICF. These findings show that dietary behaviors and nutrient intakes were poor among the students of middle schools in ICF, in part it seems to be related to the fact that the group of ICF has low family income and mothers of ICF have the jobs that are finished late or irregularly. Therefore, these results underscore the need to provide the nutritional education for the students of middle schools and their mothers in ICF with respect to the importance of optimal nutrition through sound dietary behaviors during the adolescence.
