Abstract
This study conducted a questionnaire survey on diet behavior in male and female university students in Cheongju area and examined the behavioral characteristics related to diets such as body type awareness degree, actual weight and height, diet experience, and side effects. The desired average weight of male students was 68.81kg, which was 6.42% less than the current average weight of 73.53kg. The desired weight of female students was 49.15kg, which was 9.95% lower than the current average weight of 54.58kg. There was a significant difference between male and female groups in all questions on diet characteristics (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001). Looking at the result of this study, it is necessary to provide accurate nutrition knowledge and proper education and counseling programs so that university students who desire to have a slimmer body shape that have highly dissatisfied view on their weight can maintain their healthy life through desirable weight management.
