大学生に対する食育が食行動に及ぼす影響

抄録

In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey regarding dietary life (90 males, 139 females, 18.6±0.9 years old) to verify motivations and processes that affect dietary behavior in university students. The results showed that females scored significantly higher than males for “subjective norm-teaching staff”. Regarding “dietary life skills-food ingestion”, students who lived with their family scored significantly higher than those who lived in dormitories or alone. Path analysis regarding factors that affect dietary behavior showed that there was a significant direct effect of “subjective norm-teaching staff" on “consciousness of food balance” and of “subjective norm-family” on “dietary life skill-use of labels” in males. In females, there was a significant direct effect of “subjective norm-teaching staff” on “dietary life skill-food ingestion” and of “subjective norm-family” on “consciousness of food balance” and “dietary life skill-use of labels”. The above results suggest that there was a significant indirect effect on “behavior regarding food balance”, “behavior to limit eating out, and behavior to increase home-cooked meals” in both males and females. Therefore, dietary education at universities and continuous approach by students’ family members appear to be important in transformation of the dietary behavior of university students.
