This study was conducted to compare eating habits and food preferences of Korean and Japanese female college students in some areas of the two countries. The subjects were 365 Korean students and 313 Japanese students. The survey was done in every May for three years from 2006 to 2008. Eating habits and food preferences were investigated by questionnaire. The results were as follows. There was no significant difference in body weight, but Korean students were taller and they ate out more frequently than Japanese students. Both Korean students and Japanese students liked meat, milk and milk products better than fishes. Also, they liked fruits better than vegetables. Korean students had lower preferences for fish, beans and bean products, vegetables, and seaweed than Japanese students. In conclusion, Korean students seem to be exposed to risk factors to health more than Japanese students, because they had less desirable eating habits and food preferences, and were less active than Japanese students. Therefore Korean students might need to change their eating habits and food preferences into more desirable ones for their good health.

Three-day individually weighed, dietary intakes and anthropometric measurements were determinded in 48 Korean and 60 Japanese female students. 19 to 23 yr of age, from the divisions of nutritions. The body composition estimates were measured by bioeletrical impedance-total body water(BI-TBW) method. There were no significant difference between the Korean and Japanese young females in body size and body shape. The Korean young females had lower estimated total body fat and internal fat that calculated by BI-TBW method, but there was no great difference between the Korean and the Japanese in subcutaneous fat. In contrast, the Korean young females are reported to have the same total energy expenditure per day as the Japanes young females and the total energy intakes and carbohydrate energy intake ratio per day were significantly higher than those of the Japanese young females.
