| Abstract;A questionnaire investigation was carried out to assess the attitudes related to food consumption and health for female students and their mothers. The subjects of the study were 259 female students (average age 19.4) and their mothers (average age 48.4), living in and around Sapporo City, Hokkaido. 1) Food consumption to keep health was practiced in 54% of students and 71% of mothers. Those who do not practice were 20% for students and 5% for mothers. There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.001). Relationship between consciousness for health and missing meal, shows that more than half of those who do not have the habit of missing meals answered that they are practicing food consumption for good health in both student and mother groups. Those who have the habit of missing meals do recognize that they are not practicing good food consumption for health (students 39%, mothers 56%). There was a statistically significant correlation between consciousness of good food consumption and habit of missing meals. ( students P<0.05, mothers p<0.001). 2) The relationship between defecation that is strongly related to health, showed that students who have daily defecation was less than mothers (22% for students and 45% for mothers), and student who have the trend for constipation, which is defecation less than 3 times a week, were more than mothers (19% for students and 7% for mothers) (p<0.001). Relationship between habit to miss meals show that those who have the habit tend to have irregular defecation (students 23%, mothers 11%). 3) There was a correlation between habit to miss meals and kinds of food consumption. Those with the habit statistically significantly take less seafood, eggs, yellow and green vegetables, and seaweed. |
