Subjects for this study were 5th-, 6th graders of the elementary school(n=317) located in Seoul, and survey was done during July 2007. Survey questionnaire included scales to measure general characteristics, nutritional knowledge, sources of nutrition information, dietary attitudes, eating behavior and eating habits. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test and t-tests at significance level of α-0.05.
Height and weight of subjects were 147.8cm, 41.7kg for boys and 147.0cm, 41.2kg for girls; 143.9cm, 40.1kg for 5th graders and 151.0cm, 42.9kg for 6th graders. Mean score of nutritional knowledge was 14.9 out of 20, showing slightly higher level of nutritional knowledge reported in other studies. Girls had higher level of nutritional knowledge(mean score: 15.2) than boys(14.7, p<0.05); 6th graders(mean score: 15.6) scored higher in nutritional knowledge than 5th graders(14.3, p<0.01). The percentages of correct answers were lower in items regarding dietary sources of nutrients. They get nutrition information mainly from mass media and parents.

Subjects showed problems in eating habits such as eating unbalanced diet, snacks and skipping breakfast. The major reasons for skipping breakfast was 'lack of time'(36.5%) and 'lack of appetite'(30.4%). About 82% of subjects were reported as having unbalance meals. Vegetables and fish were chosen as most disliked foods. The total score of eating behavior, measured by 15 items, was 32.3 out of 45, showing average level of eating behavior. Specific eating behaviors, such as eating slowly, eating grains and having processed foods less frequently, were better in girls than in boys(p<0.05). Eating behavior were not different by grade.
Based on these findings, it might be said that subjects for this study showed adequate level of nutritional knowledge and positive dietary attitudes.

Nutrition education for school children need focus on modifying eating habits or behaviors, by suggesting practically applicable methods and providing nutrition information that are suitable to school-aged chilren.
