The purpose of this study was to analyze factors that influence consumption pattern of snacks of middle school students. The subjects of study were 607 middle school students (male: 316, female: 291) in Ilsan area. The subjects were surveyed by a self-administered questionnaire about anthropometrics, mother¡¯s employed status, parents¡¯ education level, and snack consumption pattern. Male students showed higher consumption in ¡¯milk and milk products¡¯ (p£¼0.05), ¡¯instant noodles¡¯ (p£¼0.01), and ¡¯cereal¡¯ (p£¼0.05). In the other hand, female students showed higher consumption in ¡®biscuits, cookies¡¯ (p£¼0.01) and ¡¯candy and chocolates¡¯ (p£¼0.01). Subjects in underweight group showed higher frequency in the consumption of ¡¯biscuits, cookies¡¯ (p£¼0.05) and ¡¯candy and chocolates¡¯ (p£¼0.001) compared with normal weight or overweight subjects. The subjects with mother not having a job showed higher consumption of snacks under controlling parents (p£¼0.001), and higher consumption in ¡¯fruit and fruit juice¡¯ (p£¼0.05) and ¡¯milk and milk products¡¯ (p£¼0.01) compared to the subjects with mother having a job. The subjects with parents having higher education level showed higher of consumption in ¡¯fast food¡¯. These results suggest that general characteristics of the subjects and characteristics of family environment may affect consumption pattern of snacks in middle school students.
