| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the effects of the intervention of nutrition education on metabolic risk factors in junior high school aged children living in Kumejima, Okinawa prefecture, Japan. After the nutrition education lecture four times per year, we confirmed the students’ degree of comprehension using a worksheet, feedback about which was later returned to the children. We assessed the subsequent changes in obesity, blood lipid levels, and intake of food groups as outcomes in the present study.
We found that with regard to the food group combinations eaten for breakfast, the percentage of children who understood that "it is important to consume all the food groups equally" increased. The percentage of children prone to being overweight decreased in the targeted school, although there was no such decline in the grade that received nutrition education. In future studies, it is necessary to conduct detailed analysis of metabolic risk factor data based on period of growth.
