A survey was performed on 143 5-years-old boys and 113 girls. The results were as follows. The average score in the nutrition knowledge item, was 7.22 out of a possible 10 points; in the dietary attitude item, 32.46 out of 50 points; in the eating behavior item, 26.67 out of 40 points. According to body measurement, there was a significant difference in height by gender (p＜0.05), Significant differences in muscle mass and basal metabolic rate were also observed by gender (p＜0.001). Gender also influenced the flexibility and reflexibility (p＜0.001), with significant difference in balance of the right side (p＜0.01). Although this study was limited by its cross-sectional study design, the body muscle (p＜0.05) and basal metabolic rate (p＜0.05) were observed to have a positive relation with nutritional knowledge. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between nutritional knowledge and dietary attitude (p＜0.01). According to the results, it is necessary to develop a long-term and systematic program with the combination of nutrition and physical education to develop correct dietary habits and for the balanced growth of children.
