高校生徒, 大学生の昼食摂取にかんする研究

抄録

The omission of breakfast and lunch by adolescents is a problem of conciderable importance. Several investigators have suggested that it may be a contributing factor to dietary deficiencies. These studies indicate that adolescents eating habits are related only vaguely to knowledge of adequate nutrition, but are influenced largely by social attitude and values. We have reported a investigation of omitting breakfast of the junior and senior highschool students in 1959.
This study was designed to determine the lunch-eating habits, meal patterns, attitudes to determine and the dominant factors influencing breakfast and lunch habits for 600 students of the high-school and the junior college in Kitakyushu City.
1) The breakfast and lunch omitting rate rises gradually both in girls and boys as they grow older, but have no relation with their father's occupation nor how to attending school.
2) The percentage of the students who omit both breakfast and lunch is as follows; girl 18%, boy 35%
3) It is noted that their meal pattern is very innutritious in spite of the fact that majority of the reasons they select their lunch are nutritive value.
