This study aimed to provide the basicinformation for healthy dietary education by evaluating the dietary and nutritional status of Chinese students living inGwangju province of Korea. Data from 468 subjects who met the study participation criteria and who had given their writteninformed consent were used for analysis. Of the total subjects, 52.4 and 80.1% were non-drinkers and non-smokers,respectively (p<0.01). It was observed that women were more stressed than men when they did not have convenient accessto a Chinese food market near their place of residence (p=0.032). The subjects with a high cultural adaptation consumedkimbap (p<0.001) and pizza (p=0.017) more frequently than the subjects with a low cultural adaptation. An analysis of thenutrient quotient revealed that male scores were higher than those of the females with regard to water intake (p=0.035) andexercise level (p=0.021).
