Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study targets on "preventing lifestyle diseases during a lifetime" and the nutrition education for high school students through remote communication with ICT has been conducted for three years. The students clearly remembered the body composition measurement, the Food Mapping using the developed software, the relationship between sport and hydration, the adequate amount of rice, and the board game "Travels of Body Weight." The items that linked to practices were to measure the body weight, to care about the amount of rice, and to care about taking water. More students in the group with the body weight management maintained for more than a year measured the body fat, cared about the amount of rice, and cared about sugar content in beverages. The practical participatory nutrition education in the three years was remembered well and the memory led to concrete actions including the behavior to maintain body weight management. Thus, the effect of the nutrition education was observed.
