The objectives of the present study were to assess the preschool-children's awareness of nutrition, their level of control over foods and involvement in food-related activities and to examine the interrelationships among these variables. The children of this study demonstrated low levels of awareness of the concepts of food groups and the roles of both foods and exercise in energy balance. But the degree of children's awarences about the concepts of food transformations, food origins and food values was favorable. The range of possible scores was 0 to 18, while the range of the children's scores was 2 to 16. The mean score was 9.3, represently 52% of the questions answered correctly. Factors associated with the children's involvement in food-related activities were children's age, familly's income and mother's dietary balance. Children who were more involved in food related activities had significantly higher nutrition awareness scores.

JOMONG is the period of the primitive economy of collection in Japan. YAYOI and KOBUHG is the period of beginning of rice farming and the period of introduction of many culture from Korea that made influence to food culture in Japan. In the period of JOMONG, people ate foods that became sooty. In the period of YAYOI and KOBUNG there were methods of steaming, boiling, roasting, broiling. At that time Koreans introduced Japanese the brewing and Japanese developed it. In the period of JOMONG, people used the earthenware of Jugu style(originated from Japan) and in YAYOI and KOBUNG, they used TOSAGI & SEHAEGI. (infuluced by KAYA period in Korea)

The purpose of this study is to investigate dietary pattern and health status related to food habit and degree of fatigue of evening college students. A sample of 476 evening college students in Chonbuk area were surveyed by questionaire examining their food habit, nutrient intakes, degree of fatigue and cornell Medical Index(CMI). In this study, the male and female students were classified into two groups, respectively, the first group is not having jobs and the second is having jobs. The results were summerized as follows: 1. Evaluation status of food habit score indicated that the subjects were included in Fair and Poor group generally. Food habit score of female was significantly higher than score of male. For female students, food habit score of job group was significantly higher than score of non-job group(p〈0.05). 2. Average intakes of calorie and protein were 1869.1 kcal and 68.3 g in male and 1612.4 kcal and 58.3 g in female. Other nutrients, such as vitamin B1(1.1 mg), vitamin B2(1.2 mg) and ascorbic acid(41.0 mg) in male, iron(13.5 mg), vitamin B2(1.1 mg) and ascorbic acid(46.5 mg) in female were lower than the korean RDA. 3. The means of degree of physical, mental, neurosensory and CMI scores were 3.1, 1.9, 1.5 and 4.7 in male and 4.0, 2.4, 2.4 and 7.1 in female, respectively. For female students, though significancy was found between job group and non-job group in physical, neurosensory fatigue and CMI score(p〈0.05, 0.01), but there were not significant differences in these score for male students. 4. There were significant positive correlation between three types of fatigue and CMI, whereas score of food habit was negative correlation for degree of physical, mental fatigue and CMI. The intakes of protein and vitamin B1 were significantly related to the mental, neurosensory fatigue and CMI.

This study was conducted to find out the successive habitual practice of dietary life and all the educational tasks for the purpose of activating with female college students in Korea and Japan. The reesults are as follows. Housewives in both countries prepare 「the same menu」 for dinner about 65%. 「The rate of domestic manufacturing of preservated food 」 is superior in Korea. 「Goch'ujang」 is made by the 92% of Koreans, 「Doenjang」 89%, 「Ganjang」 48%, 「Oiji」 44% and 「Kimchi」 40%. 「Umeboshi」 is made by the 65% of Japanese, 「Rakkyo-Zuke」 37%, 「Kajitsu-syu」 40%, and 「Miso」 27%. Two countries' common seasonings are 「Ganjang」, 「Salt」, 「Chemical condiment」, 「Sugar」, 「Pepper」, 「Doenjang」 and 「Vinegar」. Koreans use the traditional seasonings, and in addition flavoring vegetables and oil which is Korea's own characteristic. Japanese use western seasonings frequently besides traditional seasonings. 「Mother's representative food」 as home dish are conscentrated on each count's native food. 「Kimch'i lyu」 is made by the 42% of Koreans, 「Doenjangchigae」 39%, 「Dakgangjong」 31%, and 「Saongsonmaeuntang」 19%. 「Misoshiru」 is made by the 83% of Japanese, 「Nishime」 76% and 「Nikujaga」 38%. Korea has more diverse kinds of food. People eat out 「when they have special home events」, 「when they would like to do」, and 「when they are going out」, It means that to eat out is one of the daily dinning styles. Therefore, for those who are engaged in eating house business it is necessary to form their righteous view of evaluation. Koreans learn more various items of table manner than Japan, which are the symbols of dietary culture. 「Carriage」 and 「Eating politely」 are common items. The extent to which 「people practice table manner」 and to which 「people think of it as being worth practicing」 are high in Japan than Korea.

This study was carried out to investigate the succession patterns of dietary culture and to find out all the educational problems with female college students in both countries as the central figure. The results are as follows. The degree of knowledge acquisition about food of annual custom is 58% in Korea and 72% in Japan. What the rate of knowledge acquisition is high among both countries’ similar food of annual custom are 「Seolnal(Gantan)」, 「Sambok(Doyonohi)」, and 「Chuseok(Tsukimi)」. Cooking experience of festive food is 45% in Korea and 58% in Japan. Among both countries' common festive food what cooking experience is high in Korea are 「Seolnal」 and 「Chuseok」, which are over 97%. In Japan those are 「Gantan」 and 「Tsukimi」, which are over 80%. Regarding learning experience of festive food 「Seolnal」 and 「Gantan」 are beyond 80% and 「Chuseok」 is 88%. In Japan 「Tsukimi」 is 71% and 「Omisoka」 is 85%. The learning sources of food of annual custom are parents and schools in common, and Korea has another learning sources, mass communication. Festive food that is cooked shows much similarity between two countries, but each country has originality. As common food of annual custom 「Seolnal」 has nine kinds of food, 「Sambok」 has three kinds, and 「Chuseok」 has five kinds in Korea In Japan 「Gantan」 has fourteen kinds of food, 「Doyonohi」 has three kinds, and 「Tsukimi」 has five kinds. The successive consciousness about food of annual custom is concentrated on a specific food in Korea. And Japanese consciousness is shown as an expansion-type on diverse food. Korean successive consciousness is 69.4% and Japanese consciousness is 82%. The higher the rate of knowledge acquisition, cooking experience, and learning experience are in both countries, the higher successive consciousness is. So we must note for the importance of home and school’s education.

Effects of a short-period nutrition education program on the dietary behavior and the dietary intake were investigated in sixty nine healthy female college students. Questionnaires for general health information, character type, dietary behavior and dietary intake were answered by the subjects. All the subjects were participated in the nutrition education program which was carried out twice during the study. Subjects were divided into three groups according to their adiposity indices (AI), which are low AI (33 subjects), normal AI (31), and high AI (5). In the normal and the high AI group, the nutrition education program appeared to influence the dietary behaviors of the subjects significantly. However the program did not significantly influence the dietary intake of three groups, except PUFA ratio. It appears that a longer-period nutrition education program is required for influencing both the dietary behavior and the dietary intake of the subjects.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the socio-economics status and the dietary behaviors of college students in Pusan. This survey was carried out through questionnaries and the subjects were 244 men and 229 women students of 7 universities in Pusan.

Mean score of the eating behavior was 3.29 in men and 3.21 in women, and of the concern on food and nutrition was 8.46 in men and 9.98 in women. 3. Eating behavior had significantly high relationship with concern on food and nutrition but had a little relation with valuation on food and nutrition. 4. Variation in valuation and concern on food and nutrition or in eating behavior were negatively related with smoking and drinking. A considerable correlationship between smoking and drinking was found.

본 연구는 식생활 태도와 비만·빈혈과의 관계를 알고자 김천시에 거주하는 40대 및 50대 중년 154명를 대상으로 1991년 1월에서 2월까지 조사하였고 자료의 분석은 빈도, 백분율, 평균 및 표준편차, Pearson Correlation에 의해 처리하였다. 조사대상자의 식생활 태도는 평균 31.3이고, 전체의 32.5%가 양호한 식생활 태도를 보유하였다. 각 항목별 평균은 채소류의 매일 섭취가 가장 높았고, 인스턴트식품의 이용율 평균이 가장 낮은 실행율을 나타내었다. 전체 조사자의 34.4%가 비만으로 평가되었고 유의한 상관을 보인 항목은 규칙적인 아침식사, 일정량의 식사섭취, 식품배합에 대한 관심, 편식을 고치기 위한 노력, 간식의 有無, 식욕, 건강을 고려한 식사, 인스턴트 식품의 이용, 녹황색 채소 및 단백질 식품과 해조류의 매일섭취이며 이중 간식의 有無만이 不의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 전체 조사자의 9.1%가 빈혈로 판명되었고 유의한 상관관계를 보인 식생활 태도 항목은 편식을 고치기 위한 노력, 즐거운 식사, 식욕, 식품첨가물에 대한 주의, 건강을 고려한 식사, 인스턴트 식품의 이용, 녹황색 채소나 채소류·해조류의 매일 섭취, 규칙적인 3食이다. 이중 즐거운 식사, 식욕, 식품첨가물에 대한 관심, 채소류나 유지류의 매일 섭취, 규칙적인 3食 항목은 不의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 비만·빈혈은 식품의 섭취뿐만 아니라 식생활을 영위하는 태도에 의해서 좌우되어질 수 있으므로 영향을 미칠 수 있는 식생활 태도에 관해서는 더욱 세밀한 조사를 하여 바른 식생활 습관을 유도하기 위한 지침 마련과 식생활에 대한 가치관 조성에 보다 관심을 가지도록 노력하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

This survey was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary attitude on the nutrition knowledge, food habits and the intake of instant food, convenience food and fast food between two groups of college women, a nutrition major group and nutrition non-major one. Questionaires were completed by 214 nutrition majors and also by 145 non-majors. Nutrition majors showed better average in meal time regularities per week than nutrition non-majors. And nutrition non-majors had a higher frequency rate in taking of instant food and fast food than nutrition majors. In the case of both college women, those who take a meal regularly at each meal times have a higher score in food habits. The women who ate instant foods more frequently got a lower score in food habits, but the frequency of the intake of instant foods did not affect the score of nutrition knowledge. On the other hand, the women who had fast foods more frequently got a higher score in food habits and lower score in nutrition knowledge. When college women have a little of nutrition knowlege, they have a tendency to keep their meal time regularity and right dietary attitude pattern. In the dining -out pattern, the college women liked to eat flour foods and they preferred western foods than Korean foods. The motivation of food selection was for convenience and for time saving which were the reason for satisfaction to the products of food service industry. The products of food service industry were found to be unsatisfactory in nutrition and sanitation. Therefore, we must be more aware of preventing the disappearance of Korean traditional foods and for developing dietary culture successively, the products of food service industry which are more suitable for Korean should be developed.

A survey was made, from May to June 1991, to reveal the current situation of the meal management of the homemakers in Jeonbuk area. The results obtained from 464 homemakers were summerized as follows. The meal expenses were planned and managed mostly by the homemakers (93.3%). The 31.1% homemakers expended 200,000-300,000 Won a month for meals and the average expenditure was 294,106 Won. Among the homemakers who responded, the 34.0% managed their account books for meal expenses. With decreasing age(p<0.05), increasing education level (p<0.001), and increasing the income(p<0.01), the number of those who managed the account book tended to be higher. Usually they bought their foods at the market place (52.1%) and they did every other days(33.2%). The 46.9% planned what to buy and chose the best ones among the foods they planned to buy at the market. The percentage of those who prepared their menus planned in advance was only 5.5%. The most homemakers cooked for themselves (96.8%). On cooking and buying foods, the 48.2% considered their husbands first and the 64.4% regarded the tastes and needs of their families as the most important thing. The majority (66.2%) regarded the dinner as the most important among those three times of meals. The 39.6% prepared Kimchi twice a month. The foods they prepared for each meal were usually 4-5 kinds (43.2%). Mostly they prepared meals three times a day (49.1%). The average times spent in preparing and cleaning the tables for lunch and breakfast were 41.6, 96.2 minutes respectively. The homemakers who had jobs tended to spend less time in preparing and clearing the tables than those who had not (p<0.01, p<0.001). The 58.0% had complaints in that the food prices were too high and their moneys for meal preparation were insufficient and the 16.6% had difficulty in satisfying the tastes of their families.

This survey was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary attitude on the nutrition knowledge, food habits, the daily average nutrient intakes and the intake of instant food, convenience food & fast food between college women and their mothers. Questionaries were completed by 214 college nutrition majors and also by their mothers numbering at 173. College women`s mothers showed a better average in meal time regularities per week than that of. college women. Also it is the fact that the college women had a higher frequency rate of instant food and fast food than their mothers. In the case of both college women and mothers if they eat at regular meal times they had a higher score in food habits. But the daily average nutrient intakes was not significant because of the fact that the meal time regularity and nutrient intakes did not concide. The higher frequency of instant food intake had a lower score in food habits and nutrition knowledge. The higher frequency of fast food intake had a higher food habits score but it also had a lower score in nutrition knowledge. As in the intake of instant food and convenience food the college women had a higher intake frequency. In the dietary pattern the college women they liked to eat flour foods. But their mothers liked to eat Korean foods. The selective motive and the degree of satisfaction of food service industry product was for convenience and time saving. The food service industry products were found to be unsatisfactory in nutrition and sanitation. Therefore we must be more aware of preventing the disappearance of Korean traditional foods. For the continuing development of our dietary culture we need to have the food service industry to develop more suitable diet for Korean.

This research was carried out as a basic survey to provide more effective and improved food service for the soliders of the Armed Forces who are serving to defend the Republic of Korea subjects were selected randomly who were serving in the army for a short-term. Following is the result of a survey regarding the situation of their meals, dietary life, and their food preference of 190 kinds of foodstuffs. As a result of surveying the dietary life of the soldiers, they indicated that there was dissatisfaction in the current Food Service because it lacked tasted and the same kind of meals were being served too frequently with regard to this, many subjects expressed that they were eating out because of the quality of they get from the regular meal service the meals, that is they were eating in restaurants to resolve their dissatisfaction over the quality of the meals. It was also surveyed that in the current meals there is a need to diversify ways in preparing food, increase the number of dishes, and improve the tasts of the food by using improved cooking method. It seemed that the soldiers were satisfied in the quantitative level of the current food service but that there is a need to improve the meals in quality. Following is the result of a survey on the preference of foodstuffs. In case of rice as the stationary food, mixture of five-grain plain white cooked rice showed a higher propensity compared to plain whte boiled rice. This shows that soliders prefer various cereals in their rice. Soliders liked soup made from meat better than vegetable soup or soup made from fish. Especially there was a high performance for beef soup. Soliders liked One-dish meals such as fried rice or boiled rice with asserted mixtures, noodled, and dumplings on the whole-soliders generally liked vegetables and they liked uncooked vegetables better than cooked vegetables. Generally everyone liked beverages and there was a high preference for dessert. Among various rice cakes soliders liked songpyon(rice cake steamed on a layer of pine needles) and injolmi (cake made from glutinous rice). On the other hand, soliders did not like food prepared with fish, biscuits and candy very much. In the way of preparing food, soliders liked food that were fried in deep far rather than food cooked in water. Also they liked pot stem better than soup. As examined in the survey, those surveyed wanted improvement in the quality and diversity of the food rather than increase the number of food and quality. Therefore there is a need for diversified supply and demand of quality of meal service.
