-Abstract-
Dental caries has not been controlled appropriately in Korea. Changes of diet habit,
especially increase of between-meal intake in children has been considered as one
reason of this prevalent caries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern
of between-meal intake in elementary schoolchildren in order to provide the basic data
for futured study on the relationship of dental caries and between-meal intake for 4
days including weekend by food frequency questionnaire for Kwachum elementary
schoolchildren in 1995,1996. The results were as follows;
1. Most popular snack to elementary schoolchildren was milk, Frequency of children's
between-meal intake was more than 8 per day and that of eating cariogenic snack more
than 3 per day in both 1995 and 1996 survey.
2. Frequency of between-meal intake of boys was higher than that of girls(p＜0.05) in
1996 survey, and the frequency of between-meal intake in higher grade schoolchildren
was lower than that in lower grade schoolchildren(p＜0.05) in both 1995 and 1996
survey.
3. Frequency of between-meal intake in children whose mother had a job was lower
than that in children whose mother had not a job(p＜0.05) in 1996 survey.
4. Frequency of between-meal intake in a weekend was higher than that in a weekday,
and proportion of cariogenic snack among between-meal intake in a weekend was also
higher than that in the weekday(p＜0.05) in both 1995 and 1996 survey.
