Description

We investigated the education of preschool children on basic food and nutrition to prevent life-style-related disease. The amount of education on food and nutrition was lower in preschooling by the ministry of education than in preschooling by the ministry of health and welfare. There was no dietitian in 77.1% of the preschools, and only 25% of dietitians provided education on food and nutrition to preschool children.<br>The need to educate preschool children on food and nutrition is thus suggested to fall on their mothers.<br>The importance ascribed to education on food and nutrition seems to substantially vary among preschools. These results indicate the importance of education on food and nutrition for preschool children and the need for dietitians to educate the mothers of preschool children.
