The survey was performed by questionnaires from July 13 to August 25, 1999 against 353 of males. As a general factor, the subjects of survey were male drivers in their forties to fifties. Their education level was middle school (46.5%) and high school (47.3%) diploma. The subjects were composed of 44.2% of city workers and 55.5% of suburban workers. This study showed that the city workers eat three meals per day with high percentage (92.9%) and a large number of suburban workers (21.3%) eat two meals only. Most of the subjects 782.% responded that their diet life were irregular due to the property of their job. The food preferences of most of workers (94.9%) were Korean food rather than any other foods. Frequency of eating-out was much higher in city drivers than in suburban drivers. They considered taste of food firstly and the prices of food secondly, but the nutritional value of food was considered with a very low percentage (14.7%). Their favorite menu turned out to be the Korean style one-dish food, of those one-dish Koran food, they preferred rice or soup to the noodles. These results suggest that he nutritional education against the workers at transportation business is needed to set the proper menu considering the characteristics of the preference each group of workers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the patterns of fast food intake in residential areas and its relation to eating habits among 551 6th grade students (286 male students and 265 female students) from elementary schools located in Gangnam-gu, Dongjak-gu and Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. The results of this study were as follows. 1) There were significant differences in the preference for fast food among districts (p<0.05) and children from Seongbuk-gu showed a greater preference for fast food than those from Gangnam-gu and Dongjak-gu. In terms of preferences for particular types of fast food, children from Seongbuk-gu liked hamburgers more than those from Gangnam-gu and Dongjak-gu so that there were significant differences among districts (p<0.05). With regards to the frequency of intake of the various types of fast food, there were differences in hamburger, pizza and chicken among three districts (p<0.05) and children from Seongbuk-gu ate fast food 1 to significant 2 times more often than those from Gangnam-gu and Dongjak-gu. 2) There were significant differences in the regularity of mealtimes between districts (p<0.05), with children from Seongbuk-gu showing more irregularity in their mealtimes than those from Gangnam-gu and Dongjak-gu. There were significant differences in the frequency of snack intake (p<0.05), and children from Seongbuk-gu tended to take a snack 1 to 2 times more often than those from Gangnam-gu and Dongjak-gu. 3) In the frequency of fast food intake in accordance with obesity, there were significant differences between the obesity index (p<0.05). In particular, children who were underweight had a tendency to eat more fast food. There were significant differences between the frequency of fast food intake depending on children's pocket money (p<0.05), and children who took fast food more than twice a week tended to have more pocket money. According to these results, we report there are partly different trends in the consumption of fast food and food habits among the districts in Seoul. Therefore we suggest that different interventions be implemented within the different districts to reduce reliance on fast food restaurants and to address the perceptions of healthy eating as well as time and convenience barriers.

The 2nd graders learned ‘the knowledge and principle of food and nutrition for improving dietary life’. The 3rd graders learned ‘actual dietary life functions like arranging menu and preparing meals’. Consequently, there was a significant difference in each grade and all boy and girl students have the highest response to the item ‘they learn how to settle the nutrition problem and foods choices’. On the interests in food and nutrition section, lower graders and girl students have higher interest than hgiher graders and boy students. The area which was considered as most interesting in food and nutrition sections was ‘cooking’ in all students. The perception of the concern on dietary life after learning food and nutrition section was higher in the 1st graders. On the perception of the area where was a great change in their own dietary life after learning food and nutrition section, the 1st graders responded there was a great change in ‘balanced dietary life’, the 2nd graders in ‘eating habit and nutrition of adolescence’and the 3rd graders in ‘cooking’.

본 연구에서는 학교급식 효율성에 대한 측정변수인 잔반량에 대한 아침식사 빈도의 영향력을 측정하고자 하였다. 동시에 급식만족도와 급식경영형태가 잔반량에 미치는 영향력과 아침식사 빈도에 따른 영향력을 비교하여 각 독립변수의 기여도를 검증하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 잔반량에 영향을 미치는 각각의 독립변수의 설명력은 급식만족도가 38%, 급식운영 형 태가 3%, 아침식사 섭취 빈도가 6%인 것으로 나타났다 즉, 아침식사 빈도는 학교급식에서 제공되는 식사의 잔반량에 영향을 주는 변수인 것으로 확인되었다 특히 아침식사 빈도가 낮은 학생일수록 급식만족도에 따른 잔반량의 차이가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 급식만족도 변수 중 메뉴 요인은 잔반량에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요인이었으며 급식경영유형에 따른 잔반량의 차이는 유의적이지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 학교급식에서 잔반량은 학생들의 영양소 섭취량에 직접적인 영향을 미치므로, 학교급식의 만족도를 높이고 잔반량을 줄이기 위한 지속적인 노력이 필요한 가운데 균형잡힌 영양소의 섭취와 올바른 식습관 확립, 그리고 두뇌 및 지각능력 향상의 관점에서뿐만 아니라 학교급식 효율성 향상을 위해 규칙적인 아침식사 섭취의 중요성이 더욱 강조되어야 할 것이다.

This study was performed to investigate the dietary habits and nutritional knowledge of elementary school students (boy : 250, girl : 250) by gender. Frequency of skipping breakfast was high in both boys and girls. Duration of mealtime was significantly higher for boys compared with girls (p<0.001). Regularity of meals was not significantly different between boys and girls. Reason for irregular meals was 'no appetite' for both boys (39.6%) and girls (40.0%). Unbalanced diet was high in both boys (60.8%) and girls (59.6%), and problems related to dietary habits were in order of 'unbalance diet', 'irregular mealtime', 'overeating', 'skip a meal frequently', and 'eat out frequently'. Frequency of snack intake was significantly higher for girls compared to boys(p<0.05). The criterion for selecting snacks was higher for 'nutrition' compared to 'good taste' for both boys and girls. Frequency of eating out was statistically insignificant, and eating out preferences were in the order of 'Korean food', 'western food', and 'Chinese food'. Eating behavior 'eat meat, fish, egg, tofu every meal' was significantly higher for boys compared to girls (p<0.01). 'Healthful' response rates were 57.6% for boys and 58.8% for girls. Practice level of nutritional knowledge was significantly higher in girls compared to boys (p<0.001). To establish good eating behaviors, we should develop systematic and continuous education programs.

Objectives: This study was intended to investigate adults' health behaviors and eating habits according to their levels of social media use. Methods: From May 27 to July 11, 2022, an online survey was conducted of 452 male and female social media users in their 20s and 30s, and their eating habits and health behaviors were compared and analyzed according to their degree of social media use. For each of the three levels of food content use, the frequency of social media content use, and the total score range of average social media viewing time per day were divided into three parts, and a group with a score of less than 2 points was classified as low-use; a group with a score of 2 or more and less than 3 points was classified as middle-use; and a group with a score of 3 points or more was classified as high-use. Results: The use of food content was higher in women than in men (P < 0.001), and higher in those in their 20s than in those in their 30s (P < 0.001). The group with a high level of food content use showed a higher rate of post-use hunger than the group with a low level (P < 0.01). The experience of eating after using food content was also higher in the group with a high level of use than in the group with a low level of use (P < 0.001). The group with a normal or high level of food content use had more negative eating habits than the group with a low level. Conclusions: The study highlighted the need to provide desirable food content to people in their 20s and 30s with negative eating habits and to promote them so that they can use the right healthy nutrition-related content.

본 연구에서는 경기 일부지역에 거주하는 중학생 705명을 대상으로 야식 섭취형태, 야식 선택 시 고려사항, 야식 메뉴별 기호도 및 섭취빈도, 야식 섭취에 따른 식습관을 비교분석함으로써 청소년의 야식 섭취상태와 그에 따른 문제점을 제시하고자 하였다. 주 1회 이상 야식을 한다는 대상자를 '야식군'으로 분류하였고, 전체대상자 중 야식군은 422명(59.9%)이었다. 야식을 먹는 주된 이유는 배가 고파서(79.1%)로 나타났으며, 야식을 먹게 되는 경로는 가족이 구입해서가 39.3%로 가장 높았고, 야식을 먹는 장소는 집이 96.2%로 높은 비율을 보였다. 야식을 먹는 시간은 밤 10~11시가 40.3%로 가장 높았으며, 야식 대상자의 32.9%가 야식 후 1시간 이내에 잠자리에 들고, 야식을 먹고 난 후 다음날 아침의 변화에 대하여 69.2%가 변화가 없다고 답하였다. 야식 메뉴를 선택할 때 맛, 위생, 양 등의 순서로 중요하게 고려하는 것으로 나타났다. 기호도가 높은 야식 메뉴는 빙과류, 과일류, 치킨, 과일주스, 라면, 피자, 자장면 순이었으며, 섭취빈도가 높은 것은 과일류, 빙과류, 라면, 치킨, 요구르트, 과일주스 순이었다. 야식군은 비야식군보다 편식(P<0.01), 과식(P<0.01), 짜게 먹기(P<0.01), 불규칙한 식사시간(P<0.001)의 점수가 높아 식습관이 좋지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, 조사대상 중학생의 약 60%가 주 1회 이상 야식을 섭취하고 있었으며, 늦은 저녁 시간에 배고픔으로 인하여 가족과 함께 야식을 섭취하는 경우가 많고, 야식 메뉴에 있어서도 탄수화물 및 지방이 주를 이루며 영양밀도가 낮은 메뉴들에서 기호도 및 섭취빈도가 높았다. 또한 야식군이 비야식군에 비해 식습관도 바람직하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 비교적 많은 청소년을 대상으로 이들의 올바른 야식 지도에 활용할 수 있는 유의미한 결과를 도출하였지만, 야식에 대한 정의가 다소 불분명하고 여름 한 철에 조사되어 야식 메뉴가 한정적으로 제시된 제한점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 앞으로 보다 다양한 야식시간과 양 그리고 계절에 따른 야식 섭취상태를 비교 분석하는 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Objectives: Away-from-home (AFH) eating has been associated with poor diet quality and health outcomes like obesity in developed countries. AFH eating is also emerging in low-income countries, but its influence on overall diet quality is under-researched. We examined the prevalence of AFH eating and its influence on the dietary patterns of Ugandan adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a web-based survey to interview Ugandan adults aged 18 ~ 65 years. A qualitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the food group intake, which was then converted into daily intake frequencies. Principal component analysis was used to derive dietary patterns. The participants were then classified based on the tertiles (T) of dietary pattern scores. Results: About 75% of the 375 participants reported eating AFH. The young men, food insecure, and urban dwellers were more likely to eat AFH ≥ 5 times/week. Three dietary patterns emerged; the animal-based, beverage pattern; the high fat, sweet pattern; and the traditional, plant-based pattern. Participants who frequently ate AFH were 2.85 times and 5.64 times more likely to be in the second and third tertiles, respectively, of the animal-based, beverage pattern compared to the rare eaters (OR = 2.85, 95% CI: 1.35-6.06 for T2 vs T1; and OR = 5.64, 95% CI: 2.50-12.73 for T3 vs T1). The odds of being in the second tertile of the high fat, sweet pattern was significantly higher for frequent AFH eaters compared to the rare eaters (OR = 2.61, 95% CI:1.23-5.52). Conclusions: The prevalence of AFH eating was high. Frequent AFH eating was common among the young, male, food insecure, and urban dwellers, and was associated with unhealthy dietary patterns.

On the general trends of weight control for slimness, this study surveyed and compared eating attitude influenced by eating disorder, eating habits, and nutrition knowledge by obesity index in middle school girls. The purpose of this study was to investigate the eating disorders and eating habits, and analyzed these data by degree of obesity. This will provide basic information of nutrition education for adolescents who need to have proper body shape and dieting habits. This survey was conducted to one of girls' middle school in Incheon and all the data was analysed by SAS(Statistical Analysis System) program. The average height, weight and PIBW were 158.7cm, 48.2kg, and 93.9% in students. However, 50.8% of students were underweight or severely underweight. Most of female students perceived that they were normal or overweight even though they had underweight or normal. There was a significant difference in experience and intention of weight control by degree of obesity. In the overweight group, EAT-26 score tendency was high, especially preoccupation with losing weight(factor 1). It shows that obesity index had meaningful correlation with EAT-26 score and factor1. In dietary habit, overweight group showed more irregular meals tendency, and overeat frequently. On the other hand, this group had lower frequency and of smaller amount snacks. The intake frequency of meals and snacks showed in the affirmative way regardless of degree of obesity. The average score for nutrition knowledge about calorie and weight control was low. Correct answer rates were increased in higher overweight group. In conclusion, teenage girls who concerned too much about their slim body image need to be educated about accuracy concept of the body image. Also, practical and systematic nutrition education should be done for the correct nutrition knowledge and its application ability of individuals.
