This study examined the nutritional status and dietary behaviors of university students in Gangwon-do as well as theeffects of dietary education on them. Forty college students were recruited, and their dietary lifestyle was examined using anAdult NQ questionnaire before and after dietary education. The questionnaire items were grouped into four categories:balance, diversity, moderation, and dietary behavior. The mean NQ score out of 100 was 48.00. Among the three gradesof the NQ grade criteria, most subjects (50%) were in the lowest grade, which was poor. The mean scores of the NQ factorswere highest for moderation (68.76%), followed in order by diversity (50.81%), dietary behavior (45.66%), and balance(21.01%). Compared to the criterion value, moderation was only good, and balance was the worst. These results suggestthat the nutritional status of the subjects is poor. On the other hand, there was a significant change in the areas of the NQscore (53.7), balance (29.22) and dietary behavior (56.77) after dietary education. Nevertheless, the ‘balance’ arearemained lower than the average, highlighting the need for education on food intake to enable diverse food intake.
