“…The Special Act on Safety Control of children's Dietary Life was legislated in 2008 with the purpose of contributing to promoting children's health by prescribing matters necessary for supplying safe and nutritionally balanced foods in order to help children acquire proper dietary habits. Previous studies examined the consumption of some snack items and analyzed its related factors in children and youths in Korea [ 11 12 13 14 15 ]. No study did evaluate eating patterns of children's favorite food items stated in the Special Act on Safety Control of children's Dietary Life.…”

“…Furthermore, the findings of this study showed a strong association between the time spent on TV or computer screens and the tendency of the ‘unhealthy eating pattern,’ regardless of the school level, which is consistent with the findings of previous studies which reported that the more time is spent on watching TV, the more the number of snack (confectionery, ice creams, ramen, candies, etc.) times increased [ 12 13 ]. With regards to the findings of previous studies that reported that 60% children bought snacks after watching food advertisements on TV [ 16 ], mass media including the Internet as the main sources of information about high-calorie foods with low nutritional values [ 14 ].…”

“…This study also showed that one in two middle and high school students were obtaining information about favorite foods from advertisements on media, the Internet, and a smartphone. Since these media were considered as the explanatory results on the relation between favorite food advertisements and purchase behavior [ 13 ], such findings suggest the importance of regulations in TV food advertisements, as one of related policies on children's favorite foods.…”

“…As mentioned earlier, previous studies analyzed the factors related to single items among major snacks or some of high-calorie or low-nutritious foods [ 11 12 13 14 15 ].

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESThere are limited studies investigating the eating patterns of children's favorite foods. The present study aimed to evaluate a wide range of children's favorite foods, derive its eating patterns, and identify factors related to the patterns.SUBJECTS/METHODSA nationwide cross-sectional study included 5,458 students in elementary, middle, and high schools. The survey was conducted at each school to evaluate children's favorite food intake, including the intake frequency of 31 food items or food groups, and its related factors, such as demographic, economic, and environmental characteristics and awareness of policies on children's favorite foods. Factor analysis using varimax rotation method and logistic regression analysis were conducted.RESULTSTwo factors were derived as major eating patterns from data of children's favorite foods: the ‘unhealthy eating pattern’ which mainly involves confectionery, chocolate, ramen, fried food, etc.; and the ‘healthy eating pattern’ which mainly involves soybean milk, vegetables, fruit juice, and nuts. A stepwise selection procedure through the regression analysis revealed that allowance, use of screen media, less awareness of policies on children's favorite foods, and less interest in health were positively related to the tendency of unhealthy or less-healthy eating patterns (P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONSThis study examined that the eating patterns of children's favorite foods were associated with certain environmental characteristics and awareness about the related policies. These findings suggest that a nutrition education program regarding children's favorite foods needs to be conducted according to the characteristics of students to develop their healthy eating habits and proper choice of favorite foods.

Background:The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions and use of premium snacks (PS) in school aged children. In addition, the influence of their mothers attitude toward the PS use on the children's PS eating behavior was examined. Methods: 337 boys and 292 girls and their mothers (n=535) were participated in this study. Participants were recruited from two elementary schools located in Kyung-ki area. Information on general characteristics, the frequencies of general snack eating and associated factors, and the frequencies of PS eating and associated factors were obtained by a self-administered questionnaire. Results: The mean frequency of PS eating were 1.12 times/wk in boys and 0.98 times/wk in girls. The PS eating frequency was positively associated with the frequency of eating general snacks in boys and the money spent on purchasing general snacks in girls. The main reasons for eating PS were 'health' followed by 'taste'. The frequencies of general snack eating and those of PS use in mothers were highly associated with the frequencies of eating PS in children. Further, the perceptions on PS in mothers were significantly correlated with the frequencies of PS eating both in boys and in girls, although correlation coefficients were somewhat weak. Conclusions: Our study showed that mother's snack eating behavior and perceptions can affect their children's PS uses. Our findings suggest that the education toward the mother's eating behavior and nutrition knowledge are important in improving child's eating behavior including reasonable and healthy snack choices.
