The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has conducted the Dietary Education Projects at Childcare Centers since 2015. This study provides preliminary data for early childhood dietary education programs, by evaluating the outcomes of the projects. This survey enrolled 212 participants whose children had participated in the projects, and 142 non-participants. Comparing the perception of importance towards each educational program of the projects, dietary education program gained significantly higher importance than other subjects included, and was significantly higher in the participants than in non-participants. In the preference for food group survey for children, vegetable and seaweed preferences were higher among participants than non-participants, indicating that participation in the dietary education projects contribute towards increase in preferences for vegetables and seaweed, which children generally dislike. No significant differences were observed in children's dietary habits between participant and non-participant groups, thereby suggesting that the education projects were insufficient for inducing dietary habit changes. In order to accomplish effective improvement of dietary habits, the education projects need further improvements to achieve systematic and long-term plans.

본 논문은 청주지역 대학생을 대상을 식생활지침의 실천여부와 당류 섭취 실태 및 당류 저감화 인식에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 당류 섭취 줄이기를 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 건강한 대학생 343명을 대상으로 식생활지침 실천여부를 점수화한 후 중앙값을 기준으로 식생활지침 실천도가 높은군과 실천도가 낮은군으로 성별에 따라 구분하였다. 연령, 신장, 체중, 체질량지수는 식생활지침 실천여부에 따른 남학생과 여학생 모두 군간 차이가 없었고, 여학생의 실천도가 낮은 군에서 주당 간식 횟수, 흡연율, 객관적인 단맛 인지도 평가가 유의적으로 높았다. 남학생과 여학생 모두 실천도가 낮은군에서 탄산음료, 가공우유, 집 밖에서의 간식 섭취가 높은 식행동을 보였고, 당류 간식으로부터 당류 섭취량이 실천도가 높은군에 비해 높았다. 여학생의 실천도가 낮은군에서 당류 섭취 권고기준을 초과하는 비율이 36.59%로 실천도가 낮은군(13.64%)에 비해 높게 나타났다. 당류 섭취 저감화 필요성은 남학생과 여학생 모두 차이를 보이지 않았고, 간식 구입 시 영양표시를 확인한다는 응답율은 남학생과 여학생 모두 실천도가 낮은군에서 낮았다. 영양표시 교육의 필요성은 남학생과 여학생 모두 80%이상으로 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 식생활지침 실천을 장려하는 것은 대학생의 당류 섭취를 줄이는데 도움이 될 것으로 보여진다.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the current status of elementary students' intake of dietary supplements, in an effort to diagnose any overnutrition, and to employ the results as basic data for the establishment of a balanced nutritional education. A survey was conducted by using a questionnaire administered to 734 elementary students’ parents in Seoul, and the analyzed results were as follows: Most parents believed that their nutritional knowledge was better than the norm(91.5%). However, almost half of the parents(49.2%) were feeding certain dietary supplements to their children, despite their perception that their children were already healthy, and were not recognizing any significant beneficial effects from those supplements. The most popular dietary supplements being fed were vitamin complexes. The majority of children took at least one type of dietary supplements at a monthly cost of approximately 10,000${\sim}$30,000 won. These results revealed the potential for overnutrition in some of the elementary students as the result of dietary supplement intake; thus, further studies involving assessments of risk for dietary supplement overconsumption in children and proper dietary education for the parents are suggested.

Adolescents in Busan area were asked in a survey about their perception and attitudes towards fast food. Most respondents answered that they consume fast food once a month because it is fast, easily accessible and tasty. Although they perceived fast food as unhealthy and less nutritious, they were less aware of its effect on their health and nutritional status. The more knowledgeable respondents were about nutrition and health the less likely they were to choose fast food over other meals. However, respondents who had little or no knowledge about the nutritional factors of fast food accounted for 43.1%. As to their source of dietary information, students relied on themselves(31.0%), parents(20.5%) and mends(19.9%). The medium through which students got the most nutrition and health information was television(66.8%), followed by the Internet(36.7%) and magazines(29.7%). This study will enable educators to plan more effective strategies for improving the dietary knowledge of the adolescent population.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the dimensions and pattern types for the perception of Korean traditional food of Uzbeki-Koreans and to find the determinants of the pattern types, taking food cultural backgrounds into account. Data were collected from 634 Koreans living in Uzbekistan and were factor- and cluster-analyzed. The results revealed three different dimensions and pattern types. Descriptive statistics demonstrated that perceptional pattern types, i.e., tradition recognized patterns, traditional living patterns, traditional modernized patterns, are likely to vary depending on socio-demographic and cultural background of Korean traditional food in Uzbekistan. Similarities and differences in perceptional pattern types are discussed, and implications for food and nutrition specialists and food-marketers are provided.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The prevalence of food allergies in Korean children aged 6 to 12 years increased from 10.9% in 1995 to 12.6% in 2012 according to nationwide population studies. Treatment for food allergies is avoidance of allergenic-related foods and epinephrine auto-injector (EPI) for accidental allergic reactions. This study compared knowledge and perception of food allergy labeling and dietary practices of students. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The study was conducted with the fourth to sixth grade students from an elementary school in Yongin. A total of 437 response rate (95%) questionnaires were collected and statistically analyzed. RESULTS: The prevalence of food allergy among respondents was 19.7%, and the most common food allergy-related symptoms were urticaria, followed by itching, vomiting and nausea. Food allergens, other than 12 statutory food allergens, included cheese, cucumber, kiwi, melon, clam, green tea, walnut, grape, apricot and pineapple. Children with and without food allergy experience had a similar level of knowledge on food allergies. Children with food allergy experience thought that food allergy-related labeling on school menus was not clear or informative. CONCLUSION: To understand food allergies and prevent allergic reactions to school foodservice among children, schools must provide more concrete and customized food allergy education.

This study investigated the relationships between eating disorder risk, body image perception, weight control, and dietary habits in Korean women. Body shape perception, the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26) and dietary habit information were collected by a self-administered questionnaire to 373 adult women and the data were analyzed by the Chi-square test. 31.4% of the women were classified in the eating disorder group by a score of over 20 points on the EAT-26. Compared to the normal group, more women in the eating disorder risk group perceived that a thin body shape was the ideal body shape and were dissatisfied with their body shape. This group was also more interested in weight control and more likely to try weight control methods. The eating disorder risk group was more likely to skip meals and snacks than the normal group. In addition, they had a greater appetite and a higher frequency of overeating than the normal group. Over 30% of the Korean women surveyed were categorized at high risk of eating disorders. They were more likely to overestimate body weight and shape and tried to control their weight by inappropriate methods. To prevent eating disorders in adult women, nutrition education programs should incorporate strategies to change inaccurate self-body image and to disseminate information about healthy weight control methods.
