| Research Abstract |
[Purpose] For the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, the establishment of appropriate dietary habits during youth is important. We evaluated the effects of 3-year health education by intake of fish and green and yellow vegetables in students with a high serum cholesterol, a low n3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, or a high homocysteine.
[Methods] A nutritional survey and blood examination were perfirmed in 285 2nd-year college students. The effects of health education were evaluated in 197 students who underwent blood examination in April and December Students with a high total cholesterol had a fish meal/tofu meal (only oral instructions in 2001) as lunch at school, those with a low n3-P had a meal of fish with a blue back, and those with a high homocysteine bad green and yellow vegetables once a week 8-11 times.
[Results] The serum total cholesterol was ≧200mg/dl in 67 students and ≧220mg/dl in 35. The mean n3-P was 5.8%, and the n3-P was <5% in 68 students. Therefore, health education and eating intervention guidance were given to students with a total cholesterol of ≧200mg/dl, n3-P of <5%, or a homocystine of ≧10μM/l. The serum total cholesterol level slightly decreased from 221 to 217mg/dl in 25 students who received oral instructions in 2001 but signifirantly decreased from 226 to 217mg/dl in 48 students who received eating intervention in 2002 and 2003 (p<0.001). The serum n3-P level significantly increased from 4.2% to 5.7% in 67 students who received eating intervention (p<0.001). The serum homocysteine level gignificantly decreased from 13.8 to 122μM/l in 20 students who received eating intervention (p=0.04).
These results suggested the importance of health education programs within school for the establishment of dietary habits during youth.
