A Study on the Living Control of Nursing Students

-The Investigation Focused on the Daily Diet-

Abstract

The aim of this study is finding ways to control the nursing students in their daily diet. The subjects are 94 healthy nursing students. We examined the relation between the food frequency and blood characteristics (blood specific garavity, hemoglobin contents and serum iron levels) on the basis of the results of the investigation. The results are as follows: 1) There were statistically significant correlation between serum iron levels and the total number of the food frequency of the successive three days of legumes, algae, light vegetables, convenience foods and fruits. 2) A few of nursing students answered that they cared for food balance and volume of eating in their daily diet, and their serum iron levels were higher than the others, but their hemoglobin contents were lower than the nursing students who answered that they didn't care for food balance and volume of eating in their daily diet. 3) In the nursing students who were constipated and often defecated, their serum iron levels were lower than the other students.
