Abstract

This study set out to provide an overview of practicing healthy diet in high school students aged 15~18 yrs and to compare and analyze nutrient and food intake according to the practicing healthy diet. The study used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2018~2020 and determined the practicing healthy diet in 541 adolescents, who are classified into practicing healthy diet (PHD) group (103 males; 117 females) and non-practicing healthy diet (NPHD) group (179 males; 142 females) according to sex. Among indicators of healthy eating practice, fat intake indicator showed the highest proportion of subjects with adequate fat intake, with 65.68% of subjects consuming fat energy within acceptable range, followed by using nutrition labels (29.28%), sodium intake (27.77%), and fruit and vegetable intake (11.56%). Also, energy and nutrition density between PHD and NPHD were analyzed. Both male and female PHD had a significantly lower daily energy intake, but higher folate, phosphorus, and potassium intake density compared to NPHD. Fat and sodium intake density was significantly lower in PHD than in NPHD. These findings suggest that nutrition education is needed to promote practicing healthy diet in adolescents for their balanced nutrient intake and proper eating habits.
