Outline of Final Research Achievements	The purpose of this study is to clarify information provision and explanatory items that should be given priority by attributes such as gender and age when food education is conducted. The results showed that differences in dietary awareness and knowledge among middle-aged men and women, or middle-aged women and young-aged women, as well as differences in nutrient intake and food group intake. The results also showed that differences in awareness for Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top, intention to use and food categories like grain dishes, for middle-aged men and women. These results suggest cautions for food education by gender and age.
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究の結果から、年代や性別の違いによる食教育の注意点が示唆された。特に疾病等がない限り、成人以降において、複数回の栄養教育を受ける機会はほとんどない。そのため、パンフレットを配布する際や1回の食教育で、ポイント絞ったアドバイスをすることが重要である。本研究の結果は、ポピュレーションアプローチの一環として食教育を行う際の基礎資料となりえるため、社会的意義があると考えている。
