Abstract

Increasingly high prevalence of “adult diseases” is creating a serious problem in Japan. Individual life style and dietary habits are considered to largely affect development of such diseases, and early detection and prevention in younger generations are important. This study aimed at analyzing the factors influencing the intake of soft drinks in high school students who are in the period of becoming self-supporting in dietary life, and proposed a multiple factor model based on a questionnaire survey.<BR>1) It was suggested that intake of soft drinks was strongly influenced by the contents of meals, because of a supplemental relationship between foods and soft drinks.<BR>2) It was indicated that excessive soft drink intake (>1, 500ml) was strongly influenced by (1) habit of after-supper snacks, (2) habit of not taking staple foods for breakfast, (3) habitual use of “convenience” foods, and (4) habit of taking supper other than at home, and that various daily life habits were the background factors. Controlling the soft drink intake should be carried out by considering these factors.<BR>3) The intake of soft drinks clearly depended on inappropriate habits of daily living, while the intake of milk depended on appropriate habits of daily living.<BR>Based on the results indicating that high school students are easily influenced by their living environment, it was concluded that guidance in health education and prevention of “adult diseases” for minors would be ineffectual if emphasis was placed only on restrictions on soft drink intake.
