Abstract

The purpose of this study was to get adequate substitute snacks for atopic dermatitis children. For this purpose food preference was surveyed by questionnaires to atopic dermatitis children in the kindergarten of Incheon area. As a result, anthropometric measurements were not significantly different by gender Most of atopic children were severe malnutrition by Rohrer index average 1.375. $13.3\%$ of atopic dermatitis started during newborn baby. $62.3\%$ of atopic dermatitis symptom started from 7 months to 3 years old. $48.9\%$ of atopic children didn't know the causes of the symptom. Though parents didn't thought instant/retort food, fried food, egg, snacks, milk were good for atopic dermatitis, they have offered egg, milk, meat, mackerel to their atopic dermatitis children for growth. Snacks of atopic dermatitis children were positively correlated between children's eating and favorite snacks(r=0.84), children's eating and parents' wishing snacks (r=0.615) and children's favorite and parents' wishing snacks(r=0.23). Therefore $83.7\%$ of atopic dermatitis children and their parents wanted reliable processed foods, $83.3\%$ of them despite high cost.
