This study investigated the effect of salt preference on dietary habits and the body composition of university students. The subjects were divided into two groups: 85 students who dislike salt (salt-dislike (SD) group) and 104 students who like salt (salt-like (SL) group). We found that the SL group showed a higher preference for sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter flavors compared to the SD group. There was no significant difference in the frequency of eating breakfast according to the salt taste preference. The meal speed of the SL group was significantly higher than the SD group (p<0.01) and the body mass index of the SL group ($22.59kg/m^2$) was higher than SD group ($21.04kg/m^2$). The fat mass of the SL group (15.30 kg) was higher than the SD group (12.80 kg) (p<0.01). Salt preference and snack intake frequency had a significant and positive correlation with fat mass. The frequency of eating breakfast, and meal speed also showed a significant and positive correlation with subcutaneous fat. In conclusion, the SL group eats relatively more, speedily and frequently intakes snacks and carbonated drinks, likely resulting in higher body and subcutaneous fat. These results suggest salt preference is related to food choice, influences unreasonable eating habits, and possibly changes body composition. Taste preferences should therefore be considered for dietary consulting and nutritional education.

This study surveyed 266 housewives residing in a Gyeonggi-provincial area for their dietary attitudes, dietary habits, nutrition knowledge, and application of nutrition information to daily life according to whether they use nutrition labeling. The survey on the dietary attitudes of the subjects showed that the points of "think that nutrition affects health", "quite interested in nutrition and health information", "like developing and trying new diverse recipes", and "persistently try new foods" were higher among those who check out nutrition labeling (Check group, n=112) than those who do not check out nutrition labeling (No check group, n=154). Reason for snacking, the Check group reported higher in the reasons of "for taking nutrients" but lower in the reasons of "do not eat enough meal" and "impulsively" than the No check group (p<0.01). Asked about why they check the nutrition labeling, the Check group answered "to compare products with each other" and "to purchase healthy food" whereas the No check group said "to decide whether the food is safe or not" and "to reduce body weight" (p<0.01). The Check group showed more recognition on the significance of the nutrition labeling and application to their actual daily lives than the No check group. Therefore, our results suggest that proper use of nutrition labeling is expected to improve dietary attitudes and dietary habits as well as enhance the application of nutrition information to actual daily life and promote health not only for the housewives but also for their family members as well.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nutritional intake and dietary habits of women divers in Tongyoung area and to support the guideline for the improvement of their dietary life style by a validation of a Computerized Semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionaire. Compared to the women at Jeju Island, the Tongyoung divers showed similar heights (154.6 $\pm$ 0.8 cm), weights (53.5 $\pm$ 1.0 kg) and BMIs (23.3 $\pm$0.4) , but they showed especially high levels of body fat (33.8 $\pm$ 0.8) . Their dietary habits showed they usually skipped lunch, but ate too much food at once, which may represent the dietary habits shown by obese people. Over 40% of the divers were taking some nutritious food or complementary food for health, without realizing the efficacy of these foods. The analysis of nutritional intake showed that all of average daily nutrients intakes of those below 50 years were higher than those of the Korean RDA. In the case of those above 50 years, it was shown that the average daily nutrients intakes were also higher than those of the Korean RDA except for energy (94.5%) and calcium (82.1%) . However, some individual divers showed lower nutrients intakes than 75% of RDA for calcium, iron, Vitamin A and Vitamin B$_2$. Also, excessive intakes of phosphorous and sodium could be a dietary problem. There was no correlation between BMI or percentage of body fat and energy, CHO, protein or fat. These results can provide the nutritional information for this special community, women divers, to improve their health.

This study was to evaluate the anthropometry, dietary attitudes and the other factors of 201 children in day-care centers according to their parents' income levels. The evaluation was conducted using anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, skinfold thickness, blood pressure, and questionnaire survey which was completed by the children's mothers. The results are summarized as follows: Overall growth of children was normal according to Korean standard. There were no significant differences in anthropometry according to the income levels. The scores of eating habits of children were different significantly according to income levels. That is, the score was the lowest in the low-income group. Children generally prefer one-dish meal or snacks, while the preference levels of kimchi, seasoned vegetable and beans broiled in soysauce were lower than those cf other foods. In the questions to know mothers' nutrition knowledge, we could see that they didn't know well about protein, breast-feeding, weaning and balance in nutrients. Nutrition knowledge score of mothers was significantly lower in the low income group, which shows close relationship with low-score eating habits of their children. The score of nutrition knowledge was affected by the mother's education level. The higher the mother's nutrition knowledge and education level, the better children's eating habits. These findings emphasize the planning and application of nutrition education programs for mothers especially in the low income group.

In this study, we identified the differences in food content watching habits and nutrition quotient in adolescent (NQ-A). A total number of 811 subjects were surveyed to establish their general characteristics, food content watching habits, and NQ-A using a self-administered questionnaire. In addition, the mediating effect of watching motivation between the type of food content watched and the NQ-A score was determined. The classification by the type of the food content mainly watched showed that 405 participants (49.9%) watched the Mukbang content, 244 (30.1%) the Cookbang content, and 162 (20.0%) another contents. Among the content watching motives in the Cookbang content group, information acquisition and enjoyment were predominant, whereas emotional satisfaction had the lowest frequency. Compared to the Mukbang content group, when the Cookbang content group mediated information acquisition motivation, the scores of the total, diversity, balance, and practice of NQ-A score areas increased. Compared to the Mukbang content group, the score in the moderation area decreased when the Cookbang content group mediated enjoyment motivation. If food content with accurate information and interesting content are produced and used for adolescent nutrition education, the education will be highly effective.

울산지역 기숙사 거주 대학생 758명을 대상으로 일반환경요인, 식생활 및 건강관련 요인, 식습관, 영양지식, 기숙사급식소 이용실태를 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 조사대상자는 남자가 580명 ($76.5\%$), 여자가 178명 ($23.5\%$)으로 평균나이 20.7세, 신장은 남녀 각각 $175.2\pm5.0\;cm,\;162.6\pm4.1\;cm$이었으며, 체중은 $69.4\pm9.6\;kg,\;51.8\pm5.9\;kg$으로 나타나 한국인 영양권장량에 제시되어 있는 성인남녀 기준치와 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 식생활과 건강관련 요인에서는 기숙사 거주 학생의 $26.8\%$가 항상 결식을 하며, 그 중에서도 아침 결식율이 $76.8\%$로 높게 나타났고, 편식을 한다는 응답이 $43.8\%$로 남학생보다 여학생의 편식율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 편식식품으로는 생선류, 기타, 육류, 채소류 순이었다. 매일 규칙적으로 운동하는 학생은 $8.7\%$, 흡연율은 $28.6\%$였다. 특히 식생활에서 주목할 만한 사항은 간식 섭취율로, 과거보다 간식을 통한 열량 섭취가 많아졌으며 자택거주 학생보다 가공식품, 편의식품을 이용할 기회가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 식습관 점수는 평균 $59.9\pm11.0$으로 남학생(60.6 $60.6\pm10.9$점)이 여학생($57.7\pm11.4$점)보다 높은 점수를 얻었으며, 거주기 간이 길수록 식습관 점수가 높은 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.01). 영양지식 점수는 전체평균 $7.8\pm1.8$점으로 남자 $7.6\pm1.8$점, 여자 $8.5\pm1.3$점으로 나타났으며, 이에 영향을 주는 요인으로는 성별, 거주기간, 용돈으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 영양지식 점수가 높으면 식습관 점수도 좋은 것으로 예상하였으나 오히려 식습관 점수가 높은 남학생의 영양지식 점수가 여학생보다 더 낮은 것으로 나타나서 유의적인 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 영양지식이 실생활로 실천이잘 되지 않았기 때문에 비롯된 것이라고 생각한다. 하루 평균 2회 이상 기숙사 급식소를 이용하는 학생은 전체의 $82.7\%$로 비교적 높게 나타났으며, 여학생보다 남학생이 더 자주 이용하는 것으로 조사되었다. 개선되어야할 항목으로는 음식의 품질과 메뉴의 다양성으로 나타났다. 현재 기숙사에서는 영양교육과 식사에 대한 인식이 미흡한 실정이므로 앞으로 기숙사 급식에 의존하는 학생들이 많아질 것을 감안할 때 학생 스스로가 영양교육 프로그램에 참여할 수 있도록 기숙사 자체의 홈페이지를 통하여 동기를 부여하고 학생들이 피드백 할 수 있도록 지속적인 관리가 필요하다고 본다.

This study examines the dietary, exercise, and other daily habits of Daegu residents and how these relate to the residents' perception of their own health status, and comparatively analyzes the lifestyles and daily habits of those who perceive themselves to be healthy and those who do not. This research study used Inbody 230(Body composition analysis, Biospace, Korea) to make body and health measurements such as body composition and obesity index. Also, included in this study was a survey on the lifestyle patterns of the residents. The data from this survey was analyzed with SPSS. The results show that among the residents of Daegu, those who perceive themselves to be healthy have lower body fat and are less obese on average. With respect to dietary habits, those who believe themselves to be healthy have more regular dietary habits such as rarely skipping a meal than those who do not believe themselves to be healthy. In addition those who say they are healthy exercise more frequently and for a longer duration than those who say they are not healthy. As for daily habits, those who report they are healthy show greater satisfaction with life and suffer less from stress than those who report themselves to be unhealthy. This study demonstrates that in order to improve people's health in Korea, good dietary, exercise and daily habits need to be emphasized. Additionally, health education and health awareness programs need to be established in each region. Follow-up studies should be conducted afterwards.
