| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Conducted a randomized and controlled trial for 4th and 5th grade elementary school children and their guardians (total of 1,000) of 20 schools in N city of Okinawa. During the intervention period, food education was carried out in their school lunch time, and materials were provided to promote family conversation, and to increase nutrition knowledge once a month for 6 months. Results showed that children with well-educated and high-income guardians had significantly higher intakes of vegetables/fruits. Children who had conversations on nutrition/health with their families had significantly higher nutritional knowledge and vegetable/fruit intake. It was suggested that children with high family functioning had significantly higher nutritional knowledge and intake of vegetables/ fruits, and the family functioning affected family conversation. The relation between family functioning and socioeconomic factors, and between nutritional knowledge and food intake were clarified.
